n/tI hope it doesn't. Ratios might get unnecessarily close in the first six, should they be changed at all. The overall lever movement is going to get ridiculously wide, unless the throws are made shorter, which might be problematical in itself with all those gear selections crammed in. It's not a performance behavior enhancement; strictly for mileage. Boxsters and Caymans won't have the same "oomph" to make a 7th gear useful unless the car is on level or downhill terrain.
