nah man that could just be a razo gearknob or anything ya know?
i have a type r and thats as close a box as your gonna get, on paper it says mine will do just under 60mph in 2nd although im too busy looking at revs than speed! you should be concentrating on getting quick gear changes at the correct revs than trying to get 60mph out of second gear etc! ya know? IMO of course

maybe it's had RA box and diff then. early RAs had ludicrously short gears, especially on a WRX which limits 800rpm lower...
