3.55 or 3.73 gears?

Haha, yea, I drive my Fox EVERY sunny day that there isn't snow or ice on the ground. Fancy new cars are nice (I love my Fusion), but I would drive my Fox every day of the year if I wasn't so worried about keeping it in good condition... And if it had a working heater, haha.



Haha, nice. Yep, the stock gearing is retarded. 80mph in 2nd is completely useless.

Damn, I don't think I ever hit 80 MPH in second w/ stock gears.. Maybe I don't push my car hard enough..

I just got done installing 3.27's and they feel perfect for the torquey nature of the 5.0. 1st gear is just right, 3rd is great for passing and highway rpms are spot-on. The amount of throttle to maintain 70-75mph is less than it was with the 2.73's, the engine isn't lugging anymore. Big difference over the 2.73's.

My vote goes to 3.27's or 3.55's.
