That same car with 3.55s or 3.73s would be faster.

Agreed taller gears are better for turbo cars. I was making this point to the people who say 4.11 gears will not allow a turbo enough time to spool or blow thru the gears too fast

Never, ever buy a rental car. Side note: If you go to a dealer and they say "It was a Demo car", it was a rental. BTW, that sounded bad azz on the video.

Yup, only reason I left the 4.10's in was my rear tire size but really sold the car before I could switch to some 3.55's. Otherwise with 26" tire 3.23's or 3.42's would be great with a 6sp.
