look at there web site and look at the E36 M3, its says they will be running a 5spd, why would they do that? or is is its a typo.

Perhaps he's asking why you aren't running a 6 speed?

GMGBMW · #9 (**permalink**) 09-05-2003, 08:42 AM

The reason we dont run 6 speeds is there is no need too.
The cars are geared very short and most of the tracks we run, we dont see speeds in excess of 155 mph.

What we do need is exit speeds and cornering speeds to be competitve over the other cars that have more horsepower.

And lastly , the 6 speed gearbox is weaker then the 5 spd internally and prone to failure more often.

So its a combination of both.
