So you think that the German (where people drive faster,there for have more need for longer gear ratios) tranny is not going to be able to do what the usdm (where cars are made for more stop and go city driving,not speed) tranny can?Well since I am from America and have driven both the motors and many variations of the the two,I'll let you in on something,they don't.Manufacturers build trannys (especially in the states) too do well on figures aka 0-60 0-100 1/4 mile etc...In order for them to get good 0-60 times they gear the vehicle to run out of gear right after 60.Also since the top speed of a unmodded si is right around 126 that would mean your achieving over half your top speed with 3 gears left,sorry no.
