The gear ratios will be closer.

kg37

Yeah what he said. LOL! And it will probably be better on gas.

Gthirty7

any idea how much better on gas it would be?

It won't be that much. I wouldn't even call it a significant gain in mpg.

Gthirty7

would be any faster?

No, since you're not adding power.

0-60 times possibly a slight improvement.

smoother shifts, and probably an extra 1-2 mpg

Achilles

yeah, probably extra 1-2mpg which is better than not having the extra miles add up in savings but in the short-term, not much of a gain........ No power added though...... still the same....... closer gear ratios which means it will probably cruise at 2k rpm instead of 2200 which results in slightly better gas mileage......

nonsensez9

faster shifts?

tfmbigdog99

Faster as in you'll get to second quicker than you will now, because the MPH range in each gear has been decreased. But your not going any faster, if that makes any sense.

Crusing at 80mph will be at around 2700rpm

If the gear ratios are assigned more efficiently, why wouldn't the car be faster? It wouldn't be by much, but nevertheless it's does make a difference, no?

Achilles

on a 7AT, 2700rpm at 80mph doesn't seem right.......

Tarkus

Overall performance increase because the engine will be able to stay within a more optimum hp/torque curve more often. Revmatch downshifting and quicker paddle shifts a plus on the coupe. Not sure the sedan will have the added features on its 7AT.
