In real life the Final Gear Ratio is the same number/size as 4th gear
- 10,840
The final gear ratio is probably the most important adjustment you can make (if you leave everything else alone). Maybe I'm wierd but I change it for almost every track. Usually I set it so it's topping out just when I'd need to slow down at the end of the longest straightaway.
But that's not always best. Somethimes setting it so I can accelerate out of turns very, very fast is best becasue if I can do that, I'll be far enough ahead so that nobody can catch me in the straightaway.

Most of the time I just fool around with the acceleration/top speed slide bar at the bottom
But I do move the last gear (whether it be fifth or sixth gear) all the way to the left. I keeps your acceleration the same, but it increases you top speed as much as ten mph

You can add a GS code that allows you to have a seventh gear on any car

you know, there is this whole debate about which is better, manual or auto. In my humble opinion, they both demand different skills. Man need better awareness, of speed and gear positions, auto's need to know how to master momentum thru a corner. My bro is a manual man, and when he tried an auto, he complained about spinning in the apex of a corner cos the car kicks down "unexpectedly". The auto okes know how to control the gear changes with the brake, entering a corner.
Each to his own i guess.

It is cheaper!?

When I started my latest new game, I forgot that GT2 defaults to AT, not MT...so it was my first time in ages I'd driven that way. Let's just say, it's a racing game, not a cruising-the-strip game; I wanted to upshift and downshift at points the auto didn't feel like doing.
Auto is okay for startng the game, but I haven't heard of anyone getting all-gold licenses with an Automatic. There are many folks playing GT(2) whom have never played any racing games before, so it's all-new for them. Put me in front of Medal of Honor, and I got my sorry butt whooped! Not my thing...
