Are the GD base ratios really taller?

Looking to confirm.. stumbled across that a ways back.

Edit: can't find the original document with claimed numbers, so I'm gonna chalk that up to hear-say for now.

It almost feels like 2008 on these forums.

Great info in here, thanks to those who contributed.

You'd realistically need more torque for that (or a lighter, more aerodynamic vehicle). 5th in the 5MT is probably about as high as you realistically can go with the L15 without needing some additional power (like the CR-Z has). The Auto can go taller because it does the shifting for you. every headwind or slight incline would require a downshift.
