You'll have more torque, right? This applies to both acceleratiing and deaccelerating.

I don't know if this is all that great for winter though, more torque could mean more wheel spinning/slipping on the hills and ice.

All in all this should make faster acceleration, but lower top speeds. Eh?

I'd think it'd take some getting used to with the shifting, how different will it be?

Also, what will the spedometer read? I think they read speeds at the tranny, so you'll be going slower than it reads? Whoa man this is cool to think about!
