I never drive it on the freeway, so the tall gearing is of no benefit. Mileage around town is abysmal anyway. It has variable valve timing and abundant torque but would be truly fast like 7s 0-60 with a 3.07. So more jump off the line is the goal basically. And yes it is a 2.24 or something now. The only thing missing would be the limited slip. an e500 different would be 3.07 also I think.
