The ratios of the gears matter more.  Thus:
   2nd/1st = 2.105/3.545 = 0.59
   3rd/2nd = 1.300/2.105 = 0.62
   4th/3rd = 0.889/1.300 = 0.68
   5th/4th = 0.725/0.889 = 0.82

BTW, anybody know if the 5-spd in the V8 is the same as the 200Q?  I
haven't got a fiche reader yet, and the paper manuals don't include it.
