I see. I was hoping they researched which gears would compliment the setup the best. I've seen when 3.55 gears made for better acceleration when compared to 3.73's or 4.10's. Also, the braking was never impressive even with the upgraded brakes. A few changes I hope to see in addition to gears and brakes are a possible 6-speed option on S281sc's, front splitter option, 19" wheel option, amongst other exterior mods (including the aggressive looking SC hood which should be standard even on the RF/AF or N/A models). The car should appeal to the masses with a production number and price tag to target "a few".

If I haven't stated so already, I like the overall look of the S281 seen in the teasers. Was never a big fan of the spoiler on the 05-09 but this model looks like it may need one. Otherwise, it looks to share the same DNA with the previous model. Good job Jess & team :)
