[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 14607028, member: 7047"] I was also considering 3.55s. I'll never do 200 in my car but part of the appeal is knowing it's 200mph capable. At 6250-redline the car will go about 203 in 5th with 3.31s. I think it drops to about 193 with 3.55s at 6250 and if over-rev could be sustained it could theoretically still hit 200 in 5th at about 6700 rpm (high likelihood of engine damage at those loads). 3.73s drop the top-end a little too much for my taste. I enjoy the occasional 3AM banzai run in Mexico and have had my stock car to over 180 so I do indeed occasionally use that much gear. Adding power will shave time off of those super high speed pulls and I think 3.55s would be the perfect compromise. [/QUOTE]
