Why is the world would ford offer the 3.73 only in a stick? That pisses me off.

I'm interested in creating the feel of performance by way of a sport suspension system that lowers the the car's center of gravity while hugging the road at high rates of speed ....tonight i was cruising home from a friends party, and some old guy in his sport mazda miata thought he could run with my Stang. we were cruising around 80 mph when i decided to pull his chain. I floored it in 4th gear and in no time i was at 130mph he was way back there....i slowed back down to 80mph..and he stays back there a bit and then tries to run up on me, i let him go by then i floor it again blow by him like he's standing still it was laughable. The stock Stang suspension is really good especially for a live axle set up...i'm gonna make mine better....with the for mentioned set up...

Probably because with the automatic there's no difference between 3:55's and 3:73's in the performance department. Instead of 16 mpg around town with the stick, your looking at 14 mpg with an automatic that uses 3:73's...

you probably had 3:31's originally, and if that's the case your mods are probably complimented by your new 3:73's. if you race a 5 speed with the same mods as you he will probably beat you, your x-factor is a stall-speed converter...

Automatic tranny cars have commonly been fitted with different axle gears (slightly "taller") than their manual tranny counterparts, so this is not something new.

Not sure what my first mods are gonna be yet. I have about $5k saved for mods already. Not really worried about doing all "Go" mods since I am not tracking the car. It'll mostly be my week-end joy ride car. I am considering the Roush rear wing..but, since mine has the rear-camera in it I am not sure that will transfer over to the Roush. I believe it will to the GT500 rear spoiler though... Anyone know for sure if that is the case?
