That's the thing, if you put a "cruising" 5th in, in even a slightly fast nova (as in a standard XE on TB's) then you will go from a fun 1-4 and into a long ass 5th that'll drag.
Granted a turbo will reduce the implied effect but even so, it'll suck balls
I don't see the point in a longer 5th gear personally. The nova isn't a mile munching grand touring car its a lightweight hatch that wants to be thrashed and banged through the gears. I have other cars though so maybe that affects my opinion since I don't daily it.
