I would disagree for the following reasons. The first tranny had a first gear that went on for ever It didn't have a strong bite in first, and the revs needed to shift to second to too long. The second tranny, which I had initially, ran out of steam quickly in first gear. The Verde tranny was an excellent compromise. I had it installed in my 1985 2.5, and noticed an immediate improvement. The engine still pulled hard in first, but didn't require the early shift that the original tranny did. When I installed the 3.0 it got even better. My 1985 is my track car. --Bruce

If you want something really fast then stick with the GTV6 gearing!
