Did some quick calcs to see what the top speeds in each gear will be. My results were:
1st: 42.9 mph
2nd: 66.4
3rd: 91.9
4th: 116
5th: 148
Looks good for autox, although if the course requires a lot of 3rd (which should be rare unless your lucky enough to have a region that has access to a fairly large lot), acceleration won't be great.
These were done using the ratios and tire sizes listed in the Dealer order guide that was posted. If anyone could double check my calcs, I used a rev limted rpm of 8300 which I got out of the Sports compact car article.
