Default RE: Acceleration??

Ok, now I have a different question. What is the difference between 3.73, 3.90, and 4.10's? Which one is better? And what do they actually do?


(Sorry, I'm new to the whole modding thing)

Damn...
If ur sittin on that much money...
I sell ur car and use that plus the 4k as a downpayment on somethin else...
lol
Must be nice...

But each different gear ratio does a little bitdifferent stuff...
All of em lower ur top speed,
but increase low end acceleration...
The higher the number the lower ur top speed but the better low end accel...
I would suggest 3.73's if ur car is standard,
or4.10's if it's automatic...
Andif u do change gears you'll also want a locker...
It makes both of ur rear tires spin...
U can either get a cheaper t-lok which may eventually break...
Or go for the more expensive Detroit Tru-trac...
Which is wut I would do if i had ur money...
lol

Lol. It's not that I'm rich!!! My family is just very good at saving money. (Well, we are comfortable....lets say that) And I am also very good at saving money, did it my entire senior year in high school. Hehe, and thanks for the explaination. So then I will actually be hurting my top speed???? So then I would have to put more parts in my stang to make the top speed go back up?????

Well yes...
But I really don't know by how much...
But how many times do you really top out ur car anyway compared to how many times u just wanna get off the line faster?
I think it's a pretty good trade...

if you have a spec 2 clutch, im guessing you are a 5 spd, lol. go with 3.73s. 4.10s, and 1st gear will be really short...and if you continue to mod your car, this will be amplified. id go with the 3.73s. it is a nice medium.
