thats idle.. think before u reply. Why do u think ppl switch out their gears?

 

Hmmm, if indeed the 05 and previous 5ATs were doing only 2800-2900 at 80mph then the only way the 06 are doing higher rpms is with a numerically higher final drive. I know when infiniti first released the specs on the 06 the AT was listed with the MT final drive, a week later it was changed back to the 05 AT spec though. Would be interesting to see what the final drive on the 06 5AT is.

 

That is wat I was saying all along. If that is true, then 06 AT have an advantage over the previous yrs and should also have a better quarter mile by about .1-.2 sec.

 

To get things started. heres a:

2005 6MT Coupe
Gear Type 6 Speed Manual
Final Drive 3.54:1
1st Gear Ratio 3.79:1
2nd Gear Ratio 2.32:1
3rd Gear Ratio 1.62:1
4th Gear Ratio 1.27:1
5th Gear Ratio 1.00:1
6th Gear Ratio 0.79:1

 

Maybe...the reason I say so is cuz even if its geared higher, the 06 weighs more than the 05 doesnt it? ( all that BT, memory seat etc ). IF the gearing is higher, is it enough to overcome the added weight?
