"M20, 3.23 for all around best driving. 2.20 first? what the he!! was GM thinking?"
Back in the day drag racing was king 2.20 first gear also provided less of a gear spread RPM drop between gears and the 2.20 first ratio also required a taller rear gear which was desireable for 4th gear acelleration
It was a different time thats why 2.20 first was mainly in your flagship GM go fast cars
Gas mileage and weaker low torque 4 cylinders brought in the 5 + speeds just to make those cars work then the 5 + speeds were used in more powerful cars, evolution.
