Stock are the 3.31s in the new 2010. They have options for the 3:55 or 3:73 from the factory. In addition, some of the dealers will also install 4:10s once the car arrives at their shop..

4.10's are the best for a N/A cars, 3.73's are better if your boosting

Any idea what the manual 2010's would average on the highway with the 3.73's? I see antonio1988 dropped about 1mpg on the highway. I guess I could live with that. It looks like most of the 2010's have either the 3.31 or the 3.73, no 3.55's yet. Seems like the 3.55 would be a good compromise.

You don't buy a Mustang to compromise

If you have a choice, bring it to a speed shop instead. Dealerships around here wanted like $1200 for parts and labor, and let's be honest - they're worse at this than the reputable speed shops around town.

Don't compromise your compromise then
Funy u mention that actually, almost bought a used Z06, but went for a new car. Vettes are cool, but not too found of the interior arrangements.
