chutrain Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I remember reading that the gearing on the 06 Spec B was slightly different than the other LGTs with the 5 speed. Some magazines had the 06 Spec B running slightly quicker 0-60 than a standard LGT. The 06 Spec B weighs slightly more and has more rotational mass with the wheel sizing, so different gearing? Perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Spec.b owners need that extra half inch of height to look down upon plane-jane lgt owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethstil Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i agree with Scooter They wanted to go with 18" wheels for marketing reasons - this is probably the primary reason they did 18s - you gotta stack up the options to justify an $8-10k price tag difference between models...
