I have a 97 V6 mustang auto if I put 3.73 gears on my car how much time would I pick up in the 1/4 or does it just vary. Thanks

What gears do you have now and what are your 1/4 mile times like???

SCARFACE

With all respect I would strongly suggest not to invest any money into that car and instead trade it in for a GT or something better, I always wonder why people spending some much money on a V6 when it's easier and cheaper to upgrade it to a GT, and automatic... man... that doesn't help at all.

I'm talking from experience, I traded in my 2000 v6 for a 2001 Cobra and damn can you feel the diference, it's like changing from walking to running.

well anyway, that's just my personal opinion.[:-]

I have 2.73 gears in my car right now and my best is embrassing but its a 16.892.

Still better than most cars.

3.73's should get you down to a 15.9-16.2 range, possibly.

It will help but I'm def with scarface, if you want peformance then get a better platform. Depending on how much you could get for yours I bet you coudl get a nice fox body GT for that and that's a much better thing to start with. Especially if you do wanna take it to the track and race. If you wanna keep your car for whatever reasons you may have then gears is a good choice as well as an exhuast, just remember you're gonna have to do a lot more just to get it up to par with a V8 then go further to get it running at decent times with good power.
