Ah the Spyder really gives it up past 5500 RPMS

Three Wheelin'
The long gearing really kills the enjoyment of the car for me.
You have an engine that was designed to be high revving and comes alive after 5000rpm. But the gears makes it completely impractical for city roads.
I am already breaking the speed limit after I top out in 2nd gear. As I start to climb 3rd gear, I'm already at speeds that will get my car impounded for 7 days and a minimum $2000 speeding fine.
Makes absolutely no sense to have such long gearing.
Right now 2nd gear is about 125 km/h, I would love if the top of 3rd gear gets you in this speed range.

1st: 38 mph
2nd: 56
3rd: 78
4th: 100
After driving the Spyder for a month, and loving every mile, I have more appreciation for S2000.
