I suspect your GLS has a 3.28:1 diff, making it even worse than a normal carb model. Mine wasn't soooo terrible. It wasn't good, but you could live with it. I find the short 5th gear on the GLT more annoying.
If you go too far the other way, 3rd is great, but 2nd is too short. I reckon you could lock the wheels on my 343 (B200 swap with an M47 and a 3.82:1 from a 1.4 5 speed) with a sharp enough down-shift. Worked nicely for accelleration though...I didn't time it, but based on 'encounters' with cars with known figures (and FWD!), I reckon I might just sneak a 0-60 time in the 7s.
cheers
