If this isn't going to be a rally car, rather a performance daily driver, I have to concentrate on the things that would otherwise turn shifting into a tedious chore. Bottom line, I want a final drive ratio that doesn't inconveniently leave me in the middle of two gears at speed limits, the most important being 50 and 130 km/h.
Using the values above and this website http://www.apexgarage.com/tech/gear_ratios.shtml I came up with the following shifting and cruising points:
Shifting speeds @3000 RPMs with FINAL DRIVE RATIO: 4,10:1
Shifting speeds @3000 RPMs with FINAL DRIVE RATIO: 3,54:1
