    no THAT'S crazy!! lol and I thought my gearbox was close ratio! hahaha
    is your lancer a 4 speed? if it is, it must have a super long 4th gear (or low top speed)


    but anyway, the point I was trying to make before though was that handling can equal performance and is therefore a fair test that wan't outweighed by the astra's performance Click here to enlarge

    astra isnt short geared IMHO, it actually benefits from only 5 speeds as it has such a torquey midrange

    5spd. tops out about 170ish. well arpund there all i remember was trying to hold the car in a straight line and it stopped pulling. had a quick glance at the speedo and it was around there. hit the breaks and the car didn't want to stop or slow down. needless to say i havent done it ever again

    Perfect example.. guys 2.2 Sri... N/A and faster around a track than a Sri turbo because it handles so well. In a straight line then a turbo would probably destroy it but you have to weigh everything up. No roads are perfectly straight without any corners.
