Default No, not really

It was my understanding the 1-4 solenoid could be disabled fairly easily on the Vette, no? I wouldn't mind the hassle of disabling it if it meant $1700 in my picket...

As for relatively short 6th gear on S4 - I like that I don't have to downshift to pass on the interstate, but do I look for the 7th gear at times... And I doubt I'd EVER get to experience the top speed in 6th.

Default As I said, I prefer the close/performance gearing of the S4. If you want fuel economy, buy a Geo

:-)

Top speed is important to some of us.

Default Well, it isn't the fuel economy that blows goats...

It's the $1700 GG tax and crappy range!

BTW, if you want close/performance gearing on the S4, buy a B6!
