Yeah 5.1 really wouldn't give you any advantage that the 4.77 won't. I have 4.77s on right now and I love them. Anyone who says they are impractical doesn't know what they're talking about; I never feel that I'm tached up too high on the highway

With the 5.1 Final, it will drive like a 2.5L car but I think you wil need a 7th gear

Hmmm... i'm just wondering if 5.1's would cause you to have to shift too much, and negate the accelleration benefits of it. If you do pull the trigger on it though, please report your results back.

His question wasn't should I get 5.1 final drive ratio. His question was WHERE can I get a 5.1 final drive ratio from. The answer is here:

what RPM are you at when cruising at 80 mph? I spend a lot of time on the highway and that would be very useful info to me.

Dosn't Kia or Mazda make a 5.1 gear that would work with the S2000?
