I'll take the final drive. Don't need yours now Mike! Hard part is finding the rear ring and pinion to make it work.

It would be the same as driving an EVOIII. Don't think mitsubishi would put "retarded" ratios in there EVO. IT was meant for rally acceleration. I've driven one of those a couple times. It wouldn't be ridiculous at all. Just need to rev higher to hold the gear.

Guys complaining are drag guys that don't want to shift into 5th at the quarter mile. At a track like cayuga road course, shorter gearing would be desired.

A close ratio transmission in a DSM (correct me if i'm wrong)

EVOIII 1st gear
DSM 2nd gear
EVOIII 3rd gear
EVOIII 4th gear
DSM 5th (but put whatever you want as its not used for racing)

That would make 1-4th double synchro.


Never fear a challenge,

Professionals built the Titanic.
