So i had a friend/former co-worker that bought a Porsche 912 from some random CLister. He would drive it to work if it was nice out, but honestly it didn’t take him very long to hate that car. He’d constantly be talking about how slow it was, how much it broke down and what a general POS it was, despite being one of the nicer Porsche 912's around.
one day I was talking to him and he goes “sooooo....i found out why the Porsche was so slow”
“Go on...” I encouraged him.
“Yeah, so it turns out its not a 4 speed. It has a 4 speed shift knob and was sold to me as a 4 speed, but its not a 4-speed. Turns out it has a dogleg 5-speed transmission in it. The other day i was messing around and found 1st gear
for the very first time
.”
Since the guy who sold it to him thought it was a 4 speed, one has to wonder, just how long that poor thing had been driven around doing hill starts in 2nd gear with its pathetic little 4-banger mustering all the torque it could to pull the little Porsche around.

Maybe it’ll solve the problem entirely. I have a shift knob with no gears shown and yet I have 5 speeds that work. Not four. But five. Would you like to hear more about my 5 forward gears?

Oh, wow haha. Great story!
Reminds me of that part in Initial D when Takumi thinks that the new engine makes the car slow, when in fact he just needs a new tachometer to show him the rest of the new engine’s rev range.
