It's probably correct: 6th gear at 60mph is about 3000rpm in a 6... |

Well you originally asked if the ratios were "extremely short", suggesting they seemed obviously different from most other cars you're used to. Enough so infact, that you posted to see if its correct. Therefore I thought it would be relevant to compare a simmilar vehicle to show that, no, it's not drastically out. Moreover, it's probably spot on...  |

how come nobody uses these boxes for sprint cars etc as they seem very sporty to me, shorter than a 1.9 gti box (205 etc) for sure.________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

the 8v xsi is a very revvy engine and required death given to it to progress atall in the slightest. bear in mind you can barely get past 110mph in the 8v xsi's as they run out of steam top end badlyi have an 8v xsi box mated to my s16 engine in my track car ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

mine seems to pull well past 110 (private road obviously) and isnt far off my brothers 130bhp 106 gti 80-100. I think its performing well due to recent head rebuilds and its been looked after mechanical wise as far as i can see. Just got me thinking that was all as it seems a nice box for sprints etc on a 205 gti lump. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |
