[QUOTE="dGstang, post: 444239, member: 8424"] I know these threads suck, but please bear with me. Ive searched on here and stangnet and other sites to get all the background information to make an informed decision, but I need one final push :thumb: Id greatly appreciate some insight I have a 1994 GT vert, I drive my stang mostly around town, but like to take it to the cabin frequently too which is an hour and a half away mostly highway speed driving. Overall, Id say my driving is 2/3 city 1/3 highway. Heres the dillema.. my goal for the car is a well mannered fun street car, and I dont want to detract from its appeal too much. My instinct is 3.73, but Im worried that it will make the car a pain in the ass to drive on the highway, and also make 1st gear too short. Then I read into 3.55s.. which people tend to like because apparently they let the car stay in its revving powerband a little longer, and are a nice all around gear. The thing is, these people have notchbacks.. whereas I have a heavy sn95 vert, so maybe Id be better with the 3.73 after all? Its all up in the air right now, but Id like to settle down and get the gears in within the next couple weeks so I can enjoy them for the summer. If any of you have/had a stock engined 94-95 with 3.55s or 3.73s, please let me know how you liked them and how you didnt, and what you rev at 75 mph in 5th. Also, how would I find out my stock ratio, whether its 2.73 or 3.08. I dont have the door jam tags. :TY: [/QUOTE]
