most porsches and supercars with "more traction" also happen to be gear 10-20% higher than the factory z. the more torque you have in a light car, the higher you you want the gearing to be control delivered torque.
exactly. another example are the twin turbo 1/3 series BMW's that have a 3.0 final drive as well and don't have anywhere near the traction issues we do while running smaller tires and better 1/4 mile times.
