Numerically LOWER Final Drive?

[Greg Amy]

Anyone out there aware of a numerically *lower* final drive than our 4.176:1 in the B13? Or, possibly better, a numerically lower 5th gear than the 0.76?

I've got a VVL in the NX, and it's a hoot. However, at 70-75 mph the engine is rolling along at a 3600+ RPM. There's really no need for that: the VVL (and, really, even the regular ole DE) is plenty flexible, with lots of low-end torque, that it really doesn't need to be up there on the highway. Something that can lower the revs 500 or so (the more the better) would be nicer for cruising along.

What would be perfect, actually, is simply a 6th gear in this existing box (mine's a factory-new one), but I can't see any easy way to do that...<shrug>

Ideas appreciated.
