Bottom line is his reasons are his reasons. He doesn't have to justify them to anyone on this forum. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be entitled to have his question answered.
Thank you kind sir. That was well put.

I had a 97 V6 that the rear diff was failing so I went from I think 2.80 to 3.73 and it was a huge difference. It did make the car get off the line quicker, but RPM's were pretty high at 70+ on the highway and uncomfortable for longer distances. It could delve through snow like a madman though!
Wow that's really cool haha. I'll debate about it And Mabey I'll just change them out and try it and if I don't like it I'll go back

We're supposed to be nice to our elders. Let's have some g** d***ed respect for them. Especially since I officially turn into one on Monday

Yes you can flame me now you whipper snappers.

Grow up children just because you drive a v8 mustang and your 16 doesn't make you a bada$$. Thanks again mr rockwell28.
