07-09 GT500 uses the 3.31 gears and the KR uses 3.73 gears

I think if anyone's really concerned about gas efficiency....a Shelby GT500 might not be the car for them.... try Prius

They got it right with the Bullitt as to the 3.73.....maybe they learned from that....maybe in 2010 the Cobra will have taller gears

hei guys what do you think about 6 speed tremec trans. on my 4.6 gt with 4.10 gears ??

and
smaller gears - slow top speed
taller gears - high top speed

it is correct ?
