Sounds absolutely furious...
I have a few questions though....
Where the hell do you live that:
1. You operate a camera with such shitty angles?
2. You can drive up to full speed?

Stock top speed is drag limited, not gearing limited. Though the final drive technically lowers the maximum potential spped, due to aerodynamics and friction, the FD allows for a higher top speed than stock.

quoting from http://www.vividomaha.com/blog/2009/...review-for-rx8
"Maybe a lot of you haven’t heard of this before, but the 4.77 gear shortens the gear ratios for all the gears (shorten meaning that any given gear will seem to last shorter in comparison to driving speed). So driving around in third gear at 3000 rpm, you will no longer be at 30 mph but rather at some lower speed. Its a ratio difference so its not like this just raises every rpm by 1000 for any given speed but rather it will vary with what gear it is in.
4.77 means that the drive shaft coming from the transmission has to turn this gear 4.77 times in order to turn the wheels once. This is raised from the stock 4.44 gearing. This functions the same way that the low gear functions on your car or on a bike. Its very easy to turn the pedals because torque is amplified by the gears but you need to turn them very quickly to go fast. Luckily the RX8’s rotary engine has revs to spare and rather meek low end grunt. So this seems like the perfect mod to trade some revs for raw acceleration, this will let the rx8 zip through the gears right into the power band and be able to put more power to the ground in general.
Top speed is limited to about 163 mph now as opposed to the 185 ish limit of 6th gear now. So at about 9K in sixth gear you will be at 163 mph.
This drive promises a noticeable increase in torque in every gear."
