Actually, I just realized... my RSX-S *is* a 6-speed, and damned if it
doesn't suffer the same problem :( It's a 4.77 final, IIRC (albeit
with taller tires) and the ratios are stupid close together. You have
to grab 3rd to get to 60mph, which I don't like. It's setup to keep it
on the "big" cam, which is good. But then it bops from 6,000 - 8,000
through each gear. Still, its 6th should be taller! I don't know a
number right off but it spins too fast at speed, gets unimpressive
mileage, and the whole freakin' car is too noisy.
It's kinda interesting; its "K" motor resembles an SR20 a lot more than
it does older Honda engines. 86mm bore & stroke, chain driven cams...
hmmm, seems familiar.
