That was Mark's question.
The 0A2 ratios are a lot better than the 01E S8 box which is a lot lazier.
For comparison 01E first two gears redline at following speeds, they are very far apart and the 2nd gear especially is not very useful.
1st 39mph
2nd 70mph

I cant remember the rest I would have to look.
So Dave's car should be quicker, closer box, higher ratio 1st and 2nd, probably 3rd and 4th too. As well as being a much smoother modern gearbox, lighter too.
