What if 190+mph is sacrificed for different gears?
Okay, this may be a totally amateur question, but here goes:
Our cars have a huge Autobahn speed potential when they come from the factory. They also have six speeds, I guess that's a tranny which only makes sense for shaving tenths on the track.
What about an _optional_ gear box for the USA and other places where there's no hope of getting to 180+mph? Maybe it would have "only" four or five speeds?
Say it was acceptible to the buyer that the car would only go 150mph, so he'd go for the "usa" gearing.
What could be accomplished with this trade-off in terms of "low speed" performance?
