I think some of the confusion is that for 2007, Ford made the 3.55 gears optional ($100) on the Mustang GTs. They probably did this for corporate fuel average. However, no matter what gear ratio you get, the GTs all come with limited slip differential.

That makes sense. I note you have the MaxiGrip differential on your car. What advantage does this have over the standard LSD?

(And please, please...don't call them "High Density Headlamps" without using a smiley. I've ragged on Saleen about this for about 6 months now and am considering just hacking into their server and changing it myself.)

The Saleen MaxGrip diif. is a viscous limited slip. It incoporates a geo-rotor pump (basically the same design as a Ford oil pump). As one wheel spins faster than the other, fluid pressure increasesand applys pressure to the clutch pack.Works great on entry, mid-corner and exit cornering. Thats the simple way of describingit. Another close comparison is the Torsen diff.
