If you read about the brands of gears on this site (click on each one), you'd think they don't think as much of Motive as they do FRPP or Pro 5.0.

i'm with ya buddy.


i might get flamed for them. but i recently drove my friend's 06gt and he had 3.73's and it just felt nice to me. it might be that 5% increase or whatever, but that subtle change was sort of just enough to get me to want it. maybe i didn't feel a change and it was just the placebo effect. either way, new gears = better for me.

I'm actually going back down to 3.55's next month. The tall gears + a turbo don't work as well together.

To each their own.

Here is an idea get the 4:10's and a 6 spd transmission....problem solved!.....but seriously I would not hesitate to get 4.10's as a DD and with the S/C.......remember unless you stomp on the gas the s/c is just there.... I see no point in going from 3.55's to 3.73's... JMO
