just stick in a 6 gear set or replace your 4th and 5th gear with a larger ones to compensate.

My point is that most of the time when you have 6 gears, its because you have a lot of power under your hood... so is there a way to do it or not?

why not just swap you rear end gear? it's cheaper. and your not going to beat the NSX. you might out accelerate for a bit, but he's gonna shove it right up your a-hole.

Tweaked is right, if you need to gear down and only care about the distance between gears, swap out the differential gear.

Oh yes, you're not beating that NSX unless you sabotage it thoroughly before hand. Or the driver is really, really drunk.

Take some consolodation that your car probably costs far less then a tenth the price of the NSX.

I'm not sure why Overdrive quoted me.

The factors in this thread are all histerical.

NSX? The NSX is an overpriced luxury that only people that really love the car waste money on. Is doable bro, even with the 5 gears.

There's so many 12 and 11 second TII's down here that would rape an NSX anyday.

15" wheels w/40 profile tires.

Weight reduction - lots of weight reduction - extreme weight reduction.
EG: no dash, no interior, no 2nd seat, no hatch, no sunroof, no hood, no headlights, no doors, etc..

Well, maybe keep the door shells with no glass..

Then go on a diet.

yeah thats the easiest way to go 6speed, although there arent a lot of proven facts about the miata gears strength.
