That was the big discussion with the G5 1LE vs the SS. 1/4 mi times for the SS tended to be slightly better since they did not need to shift into 4th where as the LE gear ratios required that extra shift. However, at the track the 1LE gear ratios kept you in the sweet spot for power. It sounds like they are going to keep the 3.73 rear but I wonder if we will see it paired to slightly different gear ratios that are optimized for track use.

I've driven both transmissions in the SS many times, they are both fantastic. But, in my opinion, coming from a racing background as well, the manual has more of a kick in the pants feel overall, as in most cases the A8 will upshift too soon. Much of how torque is perceived is a personal thing though. But, remember the manual will have less torque loss through the drivetrain... |

The SS 1LE will have the same transmission, although I thought I read with a short throw shifter, but I can't remember where I saw that... |

No problem. I'm curious to see how the car will feel. I might opt to raise the rear axle ratio slightly. For the life of me I wish they would lose the 2 overdrive gears in favor of just one. Even if the change from 5th to 6th is a larger drop in RPM. It would be nice to have 4 usable gears on track as opposed to just 2nd, 3rd, 4th. I'm sure 5th will rarely be used except on the back stretch at Road Atlanta.
