I just picked up my vert from Atlanta after being shipped from Germany and drove to Augusta. I have 3.73s and made just shy of 24 miles to the gallon cruising at 65 mph. If your not interested in top speed (you said your scared to drive fast) then definately go w/ 3.73s, they will get you to point B quick and are just fine for "legal" speed limits. Good Luck

But what about the parts to buy?

i was looking into new gears too. my stocks are 2.73 so when im around 80mph in just at 2 grand (rpm). the thought of going too big for my car is scary so im thinking about 3.73 but afraid of milage (like an every other day driver) so 3.55s?

I had 3.08s and was averaging 17 mpg around town. After installing the 3.73s I average 21 mpg and I have a heavy foot. I purchased most of my parts from a local Ford Dealership that carries Ford Motor Sports parts and the rest from Summit racing. Of all the first possible mods that you could do on a Stang, I would highly recommend gears first.
I drove a friends car that had 3.55s, they were "alright", but, 3.73s !!!!!!! I like to watch my passengers slam back and forth into the seat when going through the gears.

I like to watch the road

You make it sound like there is a huge difference between 55s and 73s.

i also like to feel me being thrown back into my seat and having to fight to move. love it but my gf isn't a big fan. but you made it seem like you get better gas milage outta the 3.73s. is that possible?

Street racing? Highway racing? No sympathies here if you wipe out on either one. Take it to the track where it belongs.

I have 3.73's and on the highway doing 80 at 2.5 grand I get 20mpg. Around town I get between 15-18 and I like to play once in a while. I have a few bolt on's and a small cam.

i'd go with 3.73s unless u do a lot of highway commuting.
