Yep, I assume it is all stock. There are times where I think a lower number ratio for the rear would be ideal, then times where I think it is perfect. I think a 3ish ratio would allow 60 in 2nd, and give better numbers on paper for 0-60 times, but not necessarily better overall drivability. I think it comes down to where and how you live. In SW PA, there is no such think as a flat road, and you do a lot of uphill starts so the lower 1st is nice, and on down hill starts, 2nd is nice. 6th gear cruising is fine at all speeds, with 60 being just a hair under 2200, I guess if you are out west and can do long stretches over 70-80 then a lower number rear would be nice.
