I can't find the specs for the gear ratios in a manual transmission S4. Does anyone know them?

It looks like you could drop a 4.10 rear differential in this car instead of the 3.68 and still have a very usable speed in each gear. You'd still be able to do 60 mph in 2nd and 87 mph in 3rd.

You're already doing 3,000 RPM in 6th at 80...I wouldn't want to be turning any higher.

Very good point. It'd only push you to 3250 though.
