1st 2.72 to 1, 2nd 1.54 to 1, 3rd 1.24, 4th 1.09, 5th 1 to 1, 6th .42,

Mark Shead had a .68 5th in his 550bhp RS500 a few years back even with that Power it could not pull it, changing into 5th would completely stop accleration, put it this way my own car could not pull a .42. There is something wrong with the info given how could you change from 4th to 5th the revs are almost the same.
