As some of you may know, it’s become more and more common to have 2 final drive ratios these days. Typically gears 1-4 have their own final drive and gears 5-6 have their own. Having 2 final drive ratios allows the car to have much more aggressive 1-4 gears, while allowing gears 5-6 to be highway gears. Some of the cars that do this include
-GR corolla
-focus st
-focus rs
-mazdaspeed 3
So my main questions are
1) besides cost, why do you think they didn’t they have 2 final drives with the fist? (Like I said above, I’m going to go ahead and assume the reason they didn’t have 2 final drives on the fiesta st was cost, but I’m not convinced cost was the deciding factor)
2) how do you think 2 final drives would affect the fist, do you think it would make it a better or worse car?
3) if there was a modification on the market that allowed us to change to a 2 final drive ratio set up. Assuming it was reasonably priced, would you buy it?
