I loved my GTO's 6 speed manual. 1st-4th were meant as the power gears, 5th and 6th for mileage (both were overdrives). 4th could go up to 130MPH, and 6th would do 75MPH at under 2000RPM and still pull quite nicely.
I don't really care how many gears there are, just as long as they provide adequate acceleration and a top gear that is as high as the engine can reasonably handle.
