4 speed or 4 speed OD?

And that matters on a DD why? I'm not trying to be an ***. Help me out here. I mean, unless I am racing autocross or some such, I couldn't care less about close ratios. In fact, most street stuff is wide ratio, because that's the best compromise for a daily driven street car. That is, unless you've discovered something that I and thousands of automotive engineers don't know. We're not talkin about BS magazine articles and rumors here either, but real world facts.

I have to say I agree, I kind of like a well built engine with a wide power band winding out in each gear, not changing gears every 500 rpm. I have never figured what all the close ratio hype is, these aren't formula 1 cars...

Just my opinion
