It actually has 4:30's. Surprisingly, its not bad. I drive it on the freeway doing 80mph at around 2800-2900 rpm. And it still gets around 20 mpg. The gears and the converter make all difference in the world in a vortech car. Blindingly fast with no flat spots down low. Great car, wish I could keep it, but its a buyer's real estate market out there and I need the extra cash to buy property.
