Reply to "Gene Berg 5 speed"

I have to disagree about the 5-speed. Porsche did in fact have a 5-speed, I just can't recall what year(CRS) they started. I know all 550-a's had them. I am pretty sure some of the later 550's had them. I believe the new tranny was made for the "a" and retrofitted to the 550 for a few races when the new cars were ready. This of course is probably just the insane ramblings of cobwebs in my brain. I do believe for certain situations, i.e. autocross, road racing, the extra gear may be a benefit. However, it all depends on how it's geared and for what application.
