The following table of gear ratios relates only to the WRX STi IV saloon. The ratios for the Type R and RA STi models are significantly shorter, at about 19mph per 1000rpm in 5th.
Gear Ratio Mph per 1000 rpm
1st 3.17 5.1
2nd 1.89 8.6
3rd 1.30 12.4
4th 0.97 16.6
5th 0.74 21.8
Final Drive Ratio 4.44:1

I always though shorter gear ratios are all good but when youve got big bhp your wasting too much time with gear changes and its quicker with a high ratio box as you can hit the higher speeds quicker instead of running out of revs. Though im probably wrong.
