A 5 speed is a much better option.

Yep... 3.54 is about as low as you would want to go with the 2.66 first gear and when combined with the .63 6th gear, cruise is 1500-1800 rpm.
But... if you redline at 7500 rpm AND can cruise at 1500rpm, the T56 is the way to go. Not many Cobras are that versatile though... |
