kjk3888, I can confirm those second hand. On the Yas Marina Circuit I commonly found the rev limited in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th just due to the length of the straights and the tall gearing in this car. Based on my speeds I was right north of 140 in 4th on the long straight, about 110 in third, and really close to 80 in second. I will also say that this car turns into a dog in 5th. It accelerates, but not as vigorously. Any time I grabbed 5th, it almost felt like a bog.
I did a T56 swap with 4:10 gears in my third gen Camaro and it is much more fun to shift because you go through the gears so fast. I think the gear spread on our cars is not suited for track use. It works, but GM should have changed the ratios for the track oriented packages.
