Obviously, this car is well suited for highway driving. It feels strong and pulls well through 3rd and 4th. But those low end ratios seem a bit tall for satisfying, in-town driving. I woder what the ratios are on the Lotus transmission that the DeLotus has on it are and if they would feel any better. Even changing out the final drive would probably make a world of difference. I would bet a 4:10 ratio would feel pretty good.
