What aerodynamics!?
This is a bit of a brick. I'm not even worried about that at this stage. I just feels that the car needs longer gears because the engine is powerful enough that it will rev lower, especially in cruise. Someone recommended that I just get the larger diameter tires instead of doing expensive transmission work (IF at all possible). I figure that a larger diameter in a low rolling resistance tire aired up to the max recommended on the sidewall would probably work out pretty well, however I don't feel that I know enough to be able to make that decision without some advice. Also, the tires are a pretty expensive proposition as well so I thought I better check with you guys before committing.
