Thanks Gary! But I haven't had the pleasure of driving this car yet!

On this very interesting topic I am surprised.
I have been using the very useful gear ratio calculator that I found my by Flying Dog. It indicates that ROW S4 are geared like US S4s. Except in the 89, when USA got the 2.6 rear end.
Earlier in this thread I read that 87, 88, and 89 ROW S4 have the 2.6 rear end.
Which is true?

All '87-89 ROW S4 5-speed use G28/12 which has 2.64 diff.
ROW '85-86 S 5-speed G28/10 is almost same box as '89 GT G28/55 as it has same gears and 2.73 ring and pinion. Main differences are that can have open diff and don't have more efficient ring and pinion gear design.
