BHPian Rocketscience recently shared this with other enthusiasts.This is mainly a FYI or public interest thread for confusion in minds of millions of car enthusiasts and journalists alike, many a times I have heard/read from even senior BHPians and industry veterans in car magazines about lack of 6th gear, gear ratios or absolute lack in knowledge about the same so I'am trying to simplify the facts so that they reach more and more people to clear their confusions.
