Both the 3.31 and the 3.55 are limited slip. The 3.55 is only available on Mustang GT's with a manual. All automatic and all V6 Mustangs get the 3.31. I ordered the 3.55 on mine.

actually just found out for 05-06 3.55 are standard in GT manual, in all other mustangs 3.31 is standard.
for 07 ALL mustangs come with the 3.31, and 3.55 is an option on the GT.

RE: 3.55 GEARS no longer stndrd???
You guys are correct. To summarize:
05/ 06 GT auto- 3.31 ratio standard
05/ 06 GT manual- 3.55 ratio standard
07 GT auto and manual- 3.31 ratio standard (in the US! In Canada, the 3.55 ratio is still standard with the manual)
07 GT manual- 3.55 ratio optional
ALL are t-lock regardless of the ratio.

Where did you hear this??

Yeah, plus the '07s are slighty heavier as well.

People were saying how they'll weigh more because of the GT500 needing more structural support, and Ford decided not to make two different chassis, so all '07 mustangs would end up weighing slightly more.
