I just looked at the data from one session at the November VIR Audi club event -- 60 to 90 was fairly consistent 4.050 to 4.300, (data sampled at .050). That always included the dreaded 2 to 3 shift (915 gearbox). 915 = ancient Porsche gearbox. I'll have to switch the traqmate over to the 135 to compare. From published roadtest data, it seems like the 135 should be 4.5 to 4.7.
