i dont know about the gears being different, but my ex used to have a 98 GTI. pretty sick car, had tons of neuspeed suspension work done, but she could never pull away from me. the only thing she had on my tour was the limiter. as soon as i hit about 114 she blew by me at about 130. i drive this car for myself, a bunch of times, beatiful car, forget abot it!
