Default 3:73 Gears Installed

Got my 3:73's in Friday and put about 200 easy miles on it.
I just came in from the country and I got to say"For an auto this car runs like a scalded dog".
I was impressed with the performance and shifting.It barks hard into second and chirps into third.

0-60 - 4.81
60 ft - 2.00

That's good logic IMO. You shouldn't count it a mod if you are replacing a worn part. Consider it maintenance!

actually my nittos aren't worn (maybe 20 passes), just looking for a better short time from a softer tire. But still I'm not counting them hehe...

Great 0-60 time and good 60ft time. It can be improved with practice and a stall converter
