I don't have an SI to help, but I'm guessing its the gearing.

Gear Ratios: 1st: 3.267, 2nd: 2.130, 3rd: 1.517, 4th: 1.147, 5th: 0.921, 6th: 0.659, Reverse: 3.583, Final Drive: 4.765

from looking at the numbers, the best thing I can say is it's probably just having to do with the gear ratios. All of the others are going to be much closer - 1st to 2nd has the largest gap.

I'm sorry I can say from experience driving the car, but that's my guess. There are only maybe 5 SI members on here right now, and I don't know how hard they are driving the car. Most of them got their car like the day before Christmas or the week following. I don't know if anyone is out of break in yet besides yourself. A ton of people all have deposits down and are all waiting on honda to deliver their car.

Hang tight though, I'm sure people will be helpful.
