A six speed would be bulkier and add weight.

If you have an ATS or JDM axle, then maybe you could make the excuse for higher top speed, but the DC2 ITR chassis isn't much over about 150, anyway, as far as aerodynamic stability, IMHO.

Are you talking about Quaife?

If you are, yes, that's possible. However, it's expensive and will add weight and dollars that are out of proportion to any perceived benefit.

IMHO, there is no real benefit.

No, in the sense that you can't choose your final drive while you're driving. It's always there. So prior to the RSX, Integras had only 5 gears for you to choose from.

the final drive is like the rear end in a RWD car. It’s not changeable without dismantling the tans, but it factors into each ratio as far as rotations of crankshaft to rotations of tire.
