   Becouse you dont need the last 15mph unless your going for the land speed record.

   when you fit gearboxes with shorter ratios you get better acceleration but worse top end, its a trade off weather you want the acceleration or top speed most people go for acceleration because most people dont reach top speed on public roads, and you mainly use your car in the lower rev ranges
   
   EDIT: i have a 1.1 box on my vts btw
