Buy the car and drive it for a while. You may decide that you don't need the gears.
I've been thinking about going down from a 3.73 to a 3.55/3.31. Mostly for quarter mile purposes. 4th gear with 3.73's runs out in the low 120's. I'd like to be able to have the room/gears to trap low 130's (with future mods) without having to go into 5th gear.
Does anyone know what mph 4th gear with 3.55's at 7500rpms?
^if you dont care about that stuff then just buy the car, drive it with the stock gears, upgrade to 3.73's in the future if/when the mod bug hits you.
What size tire are you running? My 4th runs out at 125 with 3.31s
Oem 19's. 4th seems to hit the rev limiter (7500rpm) in the low 120's.
if im hitting low 120's in the 1/4 mile i will be happy....lol. what mods does it take a on a manual GT to achieve that?
what's the best people are seeing with bolt on's for a trap speed....I think I have seen a few 117's...
With 3.73s, 7500 rpm was 121 mph
With 3.31s, 7500 rpm was 138 mph and 7900 was 141 mph.
This is on stock tire diameter.
Tell me your not stock
