Nope, I like a close ratio box....always. Helps with the lag you understand

Flippin M6 does 110mph in 3rd......and yes it has a nice flat torque wave to make that work, but boy does it make the car boring!!!! (for a 560horse M Car)

I have a feeling 6th and 7th in M3/M4 will be a wasted gears too. all for an extra 3 mpg
