A newbie signing in, good morning.
I've been informed that my new Supersport will likely not have the close ratio gearbox and that, in reality, it doesn't make much difference to overall acceleration. Apparently, it's the 3.91 diff that makes it the 'sprint ratio gearing' listed in the spec but i've read the spec again and it also lists a '5-speed sprint ratio Caterham gearbox' too, so my questions are:
.1. Is it true that its the diff that makes the difference and not the gearbox?
.2. Why would they fit some with the 36G003A box close ratio box if it didn't make a difference?
.3. What would you do about excepting the car without it?
Incidently, the demo SS is fitted with the std box apparently.
I've been so excited for so long about picking this car up but this has tarnished things slightly; I feel very angry about it, especially that I wasn't informed by CC themselves about the spec change, afterall, the close ratio gearing was a big reason why I went the SS route and i feel I'm being short changed.
What should I do, what can I do? Any help/opinions hugely appreciated.
