Ok guys, I am new here and I have a question.I have a chance to buy a 2010 grabber blue gt with sec. package, comfort package, HID lamps, 3.55 gear, shaker 1000 stereo, 19 inch wheels and accessory package 4 which is hood scoop and raised rear spoiler. It is a 5 speed. Car has 1600 miles and they want 26,000.00 out the door. Sticker was 36,800.00. I think this is a good price for the car but I really wanted one with the 3.73 gear. Is this a big deal or not? I want the most performance I can get but I cant find another one like this with it. I love the car, I just dont want to be wishing later I would have gotten the 3.73. Can someone help me out? I have not driven a mustang since a gt I owned in '95 but I love the looks and have read nothing but good things about them.

I think it would be pretty hard to distinguish between a 3.55 gear and one that was .18 higher.

dude get it and take it to MV Performance in Augusta and have them throw in some 3.73s or even some 4.10s they will do it for $400. thats for the parts and install!

Thanks for the response. I see you have the 3.55. How do you like the car overall and did you even think about a 5.0? I have but I just dont want to get off the extra cash.

If u do get the car i wouldnt put in 373 and put in 410. U wont feel much of a difference from 355 to 373 but to a 410 you will. u might lose a little and i mean minimal fuel mileage with 410's. but in town u will gain. the butt dyno is very nice.

IF 3.55's don't do it for you, just go 4.10 instead. People don't report much of a feel difference from 3.55 to 3.73. 4.10 will give you a better bang. That's almost a brand new car with fully loaded features. Not bad at all. You can always find a good shop and put in a gear of your choice later. I was looking at buying a pre-owned 2009 GT back in 2009 and they wanted $27k and it wasn't anywhere as featured as that one.

You do realize the difference between 3.55s and 3.73s is minimal right?

I don't know if it is the same options, but here is one with 0 miles for less money. ---> http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/1972786056.html
Of course, it is in Ohio.

With my "06 GT (auto trans) I went from 3.31 to 3.73 and it felt minimal, I was disappointed. I finally went to 4.10's, now thats a difference! Not too bad on the highway, and around town, just touch the gas, and the tires chirp! Makes the car feel so much faster. Also, it seems , especially in my case,(automatic) you can run a louder exhaust, and it stays out of the drone range better. And gas mileage isn't all that bad or the revs... For instance, I drove home yesterday from Lake George , NY to my area (northeast NJ, Meadowlands) According to the dash, I averaged 21 mpg, I was doing an avg of 80 mph,(3k on tach), and I had between a 1/4 and an 1/8 tank of gas left! Not too bad! Get the 4.10's, but make damn sure that you know well who is doing the install, because these cars have a nasty habit of whining (esp on decel) if they aren't installed exactly right! Believe me, I know....
