Friday night topic - Optimal number of gears for a PH car?

For me I think a six speeed manual is ideal for a sports car; with 1-4 stacked fairly close (third maxing out at no more than 85mph); 5th set up for top speed and 6th as a cruising overdrive. I can live without either of the top two gears though.
I do wish more cars were geared like this in the first 3. Triple digits just to max a car out in 3rd isn't ideal from a licence point of view. That's before you even get to some of the modern stuff that'll do 80+ in second gear. What cars will actually top out at 85 or below in third?
