with 4.10s in either tranny you will still get about the same milage as a stock GT (-1-3 mpg)

btw you will need a limited slip as well, i would recomend the detroit true trac as it doesnt use clutches

I was pretty sure that there was a difference between the manuals and the autos. I thought the autos came with 3.55s and the manuals came with 3.31s?
you are thinking of GT's...
not just gt's but its the other way around. 3.55 in manual, 3.31 in auto.

yes, they dont have clutches that will wear out like the t-lok, it is a preformance part, unlike the t-lok which is a factory replacement part

Are you sure that it was the other way around? I thought when I read it (wherever I read it) it made sense to me because I thought of it as the 3.55 was making up for the fact that it was an auto and would automatically loose some on acceleration? Not saying that your wrong or anything, its just usually if I can associate it to something and it makes sense to me I remember it pretty well. It just seems like I was pretty sure about this.

the deal with auto is that its hard on gas as it is compared to a manual.. so they put the smaller gearing in..

ill ook up the rear end ratios for the all 4 cars

any 5 speed GT until 07 has 3.55s whjich are now optional, all the rest are 3.31s, if you mean tranny ratios, the t-3650 is .68, the t-5 is .72 and the auto (whatever it is) is .75
