Default Gear ratios?

Anybody know what the gear ratios will be? Since the car will reach its top speed in sixth gear it would be interesting to see what gearset has been created heavier but ultimatley quicker and faster car.

I do believe this is it - almost the same ratios as the GM Race T1 T56 Transmission.

1st: 2.29

2nd: 1.61

3rd: 1.21

4th: 1.00

5th: 0.81

6th: 0.67

R: 3.11

Rear Axle: 3.42

I don't have a link on-hand to that top speed video it had. But if someone would post up at what rough RPM it was at when it reached 207, you can figure out the gear ratio since the tire size is now known as well as the 3.42 rear ratio.

thanks for the info. It seems like the ratios are pretty close to the rs gear transzille close ratio set. Can't remember them off the top of my head but it did start with a 2.29 first.
