[BenR]

no racing box would have 4 gears.

read me 1st post mate lol......1.4 4speed box

 

[BenR]

i know....your second post it was aimed at......

any box with lower ratios will accel faster.

 

[2 live]

depends on the diff

 

[BenR]

lol!!!

ok, any box with lower ratios whilst retaining the same diff/final drive ratio....OR keeping the ratios std and rasing the final drive ratio will lead to better acceleration.

is that ok? lol

 

[2 live]

lol

aye

 

[S2 PTH]

yeh, surely it wud seem ludacrus to put a lower ratio box on a car, and have less gears? the whole point of shorter-ratio gearboxes is to have more gears to play around with?!

(btw- i know u all know that- just thought id say it!)

depends on where you race or the type of racing you do. you may never need/use a 5th gear.

 

[BenR]

Macks right! Peugeot 307 WRC had 4 speed box in the beginning of the season. Now they have 5 speed again like 206 did.

Although, Rovanpera was racing with four gears almost the whole Cyprus rally. And Gronholm without a clutch.
