Not very realistic, and more of a curiosity issue, than a realistic one, but:

In some video games, you can modify cars. ITR's come stock in 5 speed manual. After modifying drivetrain (i'm too lazy to read everything that goes into that), it get's 6 speed. WTF goes into doing that for real, and what kind of addition does it do?

 

that was the dumbest question. you need alot of money to do that, its stupid

 

quaife makes a $19,000 6 speed for b series. have fun with that. :wiggle:

 

what is it for, what would having a 6th gear do for you?

 

i highly doubt that it's going to be very beneficial at all. look at the DC5-R compared to the DC2-R and they preform very comparitively. if you're going to mess with the transmission, look into final drives. (ATS or JDM ITR)

 

wasn't plannin' on messin' with them, just curious, hence the beginning of the original post.

 

The idea would be to keep a car in its max power range at a greater variety of speeds.

It makes sense the way some cars are set up...but not with a lot of them, including many that do come with six speeds, like the RSX Type S. IMHO, we'd do as well and save a little money by having a five speed in the Type S.

It would cost a lot of money, add weight, and possibly have space problems putting a six speed gearbox in the DC2 ITR.
