perhaps you lack reading comprehension
ITS BARELY MORE THAN YOUR 3.73s!!!
120 rpm

I like the machs alot, and you can get them new fairly cheap around here, 21-22k out the door it seems, which isnt to bad.
Theres a azure blue mach 1 at my track who is in the 11's, i raced him once, he went 11.7. Not to sure on the MPH, it was fairly low, 112 range maybe. His mach is just bolt ons, but EVERYTHING tubular, no seats, bogarts, so its very very light. But man that thing launchs hard!

Me? Reading Comprehension problems?

you really thing that makes a difference

Sorry. Couldn't resist. I'm guessing you meant absurd. Sometimes I see things on the forums that just crack me up. Don't take it personally, I'm not taunting you [much].

The problem with some of your posts snoozer is that you never really can give a good reason for what you "suggest"...kind of like your traction vs. power post...
95snoozer said:ok, lets try this one more time.....since i have already explained this but you DID fail to comprehend it.
the final drive ratio between the t5 and the 03+ 3650 is different, the 03+ trannies have a .62 5th gear. I was not comparing 3.73s to 4.10s ever.
I said at 70 on my tires:
T5 with 3.73 - 2320 rpm
3650 with 4.30 - 3440 rpm (a t5 with 3.90s is 2430)
t5 with 4.10s is 2550
the point is that a 4.30 in a mach on the highway is barely different from your choice of the mild 3.73s in your rear.
your right, i dont give a good reason, go back and read my ****ing posts. You stay in a high average power the powerband needs at least these gears, experienced racers show what they can do, hell normal people who have balls show what they can do. even that girl from here has bigger metephorical balls than you do.
your argument is that they are too much and not streetable, well i showed thats not true because you assumed incorrectly about the final drive and you obviously dont understand anything about tractive effort and how a steeper gear allows you to stay out of the throttle moving around town. Depending on your driving style you can increase your gasmileage in stop and go traffic. Also with this final gear ratio your highway gas milage is not going to be poor at all. my close friiend could get over 300 a tank and did this several times. his speedo was correct as he was using speedcal.
oh an about your traction comments, i informed my friends with stock new GTs and 03 cobras of your comments and they laughed in my face and thought it was a joke. I see no reason to prove anything to you because you are so close minded you never seem to read anything completely and respond with whatever ignorance you posessed when you came into the thread. You refuse to learn anything new and you wont think outside the box.
Joes95GT said:I wouldn't say that the steeper gears are harder on the clutch either. Shifting normally doesn't wear the clutch nearly as much as taking off from a stop. With a 3.73 gear, you will have to burn the clutch up (ride it out) a bit longer than with a 4.30, therefore the clutch life is probably prolonged.
Also, you could be right about there being more than a 120 RPM difference between the two sets of gears, however, it's not much more or much less than a 120 RPM. It's mathematics and nothing else.
