how much would 3.73s or 4.10's affect trap speeds at the track?

if traction is not an issue, you will get there faster with 4.10s but top out at around 115~

In my buddies 01 GT with 4:10s we were able to hit 125 and could probably have hit 130.

Why would you want to go 130+ anyways?

I was going to go 3:90s but i want to stay away from motive so i am just going with the FR 3:73s.

driving a mustang without suspension at 130 miles an hour is like driving a bicycle at 100, its hard to control

RE: stock mustang VS 3.73 mustang

I would say get is high of gears as you want if traction is not an issue. I would rather go 150+ in a car that I knew was made for it. Just my opinion. 4.10's ftw!
