It's annoying but it's not a deal breaker that's for sure.

It never bothered me. Just keep the revs from 3-7 and you will be fine.

Race Headers and a Cobb tune won't hurt.

Plus I like having a car that is as fast as the miura.

Yeah definitely have to go aftermarket to let the engine rev that bit quicker where the long gears won't annoy you. I second that.

Yep. Actually should be better for both and still being hotly debated.
