I read that the gearing for the Z is something like

1-45
2-67
3-98
4-1XX
5-155

lol coming from an STi those are some long *** gears haha

Yeah, the Z is really a different animal. It's geared more as a cruiser than a sports car to be honest. The gears are at least a little shorter than the 350, but it would have been nice to at least have an option for shorter gears. I'm hoping to eventually swap some 4.08's in to help things out a bit.

The WRX I have is geared much taller than the STI's are, and it still feels much better than the Z does at low RPM's.

The tall gearing is nice when you're cruising though, and even though the Z isn't exactly a torque monster, it will pull through despite the tall gears.

you must be driving some other STI and 370Z cause i feel the exact opposite when i drove stock vs stock.

anyway, im done talking subaru's.
