Question Ordering 2011, axle questions.

Hey guys since my 2010 cant be ordered im going to order the 2011. I need to know what is the better package to go on my 5.0 gt if these will be avaliable on the 11's. Tell me which is better and the reason behind the decision. Should I go with the 3.73 rear axle package that also includes the dual piston calipers, performance front pads and electronic stability control or go with the 3.55 rear limited slip axle ratio. Really, what is the dif. between the two axles other than limited slip-dif.?

the 3.73 will get u a better launch and u get better brakes. so if you want to go faster sooner and stop better go with the 3.73 set-up.

lol

Adder has a point though, this isn't the Modular or S197 section. I suppose I ccan give him a pass since the 2011 will have a 5.0 and this is A 5.0 section....just not the right one.

Anyway, to answer the question it depends on what you want. 3.73 will give it a bit better acceleration in trade for a slightly reduced top speed in each gear, and the better brake package will help stop it.

No pass is allowed. In case you haven't noticed this is the 1979-1995 section. Has been for a few weeks.

We are going to probably see alot more of the new 5.0 questions in here because people are stupid and don't take the time to read where they are going.

Go with the 3.73's

You are right sir, I stand corrected. Even though i noticed when it changed it still slipped my mind.
