    I never could understand why people want the 5-speed gearsets when you can do a 6-speed swap for about the same amount of money? It has been proven the 5-speeds are still breakable with the expensive gearsets and the 6-speeds are designed much better and can hold a ton of power.

    If the ratio's too short, your redline is too low :sx:. The 6speeds are geared for a 207 that will rev to 8-9K rpms with no problems.

    Also for those that drag race the 5 speed aftermarket gears can be nice. The 07 is an improvement, but still not equal to the ppg ratios. Nice long ratios on that set....you find out what they are going for?

    They won't release any info until they've been tested.
