6th gear may actually be useful uphill no as well.
Marc says, "18% more torque to the wheels. All of the time!" Of course, gears don't change flywheel HP but gears, by definition, multiply torque and more gear is supposed to provide more torque at the end of the equation. Surprisingly, my car is not even any more tail-happy than before. Extremely disappointing for what's talked about as the "best upgrade ever."
