I think this is very informational. I drive a metro cause i put alot of over the road miles on my car. so the RRC figures according to yourself dont affect me as much. I have yet to have one person come up with a reason the 12's wouldnt be the best. This could be a good opportunity. it cost 1k to make one gear cause of r&d. what if somebody made 100 top gears. instead of using a tranny with a bad first gear to get a good top gear, drop in a new top gear and get the best of all worlds.
