Recently purchase a V6 converted S5. Did not know much about the motor or tranny. I have confirmed a Ford cologne 2.8 V6. The tranny is a 5 speed but unsure what it is. The gearing seems high? Low? Not sure on correct terminology 1st gear does not do much but make noise in fact better to start in 2nd. In 5th gear my speedo says 60 mpg at 3k rpm. Not that great for freeway driving.
Would i need a different rear end ratio to get me at 70 mph at 3k rpm?? Or?? If a stock rear end (which i cant confirm) would it behave like i describe? Thx in advance !
