Amen!!!!
There has been many times when the 6th gear would have come handy... Not a big fan when shes revving at 3000... i feel bad about it

Yeah a 6th gear would be great, I drive 90 minutes a day on freeways. It would be of great benefit to me.

Reverse buzzer - it's annoying cos it serves no purpose. If it were audible on the outside, it would warn people nearby, and have a use. If it changed pitch/frequency when the car is near to an object, it would be useful.

I have a sixth gear, and I still feel it's not long enough.

It's pulling ~2400rpm at 100km/h in 6th - wish it were closer to 2000rpm to stay completely off boost while cruising.

Reverse buzzer is to notify you that the SST has pickup reverse so you dont crunch the box with the electric clutch, however a light would have done the same thing while being less annoying.

The listed consumption figure in America for the RA is 17/25 mpg city/highway, same as a 5.0 Mustang. :evil:

So true Ron , I have had a whinge myself about fuel mileage, but what I could of saved on mods could of gone towards the petrol, sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

6th gear would be great if it was a true overdrive but they're not. They're just the same as 5th in a 5 gear car except you have more movements to get there.

When I was dreaming about having a 5th gear in my old 929 it was the same thing. Got to a car with 5th and it just took me longer to get to the same point.

Agree with you Steve and aslo stone cips at the end of the side skirts in the rear from the front wheels! They should come with mud flaps from factory
