What gears are in the RX8?
I was wondering what the gearing is in the rear end of the 8? Would this car not benefit from lets say 4:44 gears? Just so it can rev up faster, should shave some time off the quarter. I know it will raise the rpm's at cruising speeds and effect milage, but if I wanted good milage I would have bought a Hybrid.

That's what I'm wondering now. From what I've researched, the car pulls pretty strong in first and second and falls off in 3rd compared to it's competitors like the 350z.
