[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16464715, member: 124025"] With the .5:1 6th gear ratio, there's not much penalty at highway speeds with steeper gears. 80 mph cruise rpm would be 1,654, 1,864 and 2,049 for 3.31, 3.73 and 4.1, respectively. My car came with 3.73s (2012), but I installed a 2013 transmission. I think the 3.73s would be perfect for a basically stock car. I'm running more aggressive cams in a 5.8 and I think 4.10s would be a better fit for that application. No one has mentioned it, but verts have softer spring rates than coupes. You might also have a bad bushing somewhere in the upper or lower control arms. [/QUOTE]
