Good answer VQ, but when do you sleep? You seem to be living on this site. Gotta unplug sometime, NEO.

one advantage you get most of the time is a taller top gear. A bit quieter and bit more economica cruising on the highway without sacrificing performance. Most flexibility with 6 gears instead of 5

I hear you.

BTW did you know that you (VQracer) have 1400 posts out of 28,000 total, that's like 1 out of every 20 posts.

Also, usually people post and wait a while for someone to answer. Well when I am here I try to answer as quickly as possible so they don't ahve to wait too long. People like that.
