who wants to pay gas guzzler tax, let alone... who wants a 'economical supercar' to be uneconomical?
the Ford GT is geared even taller... and part of the reason that our supercars have such a broad torque curve that a gear can be used over a broader specturum; whereas a high reving car will need the short ratios to stay in the power.
funny thing is that i do agree with you, i would much prefer a close ratio 6 speed.
