Daily driven car 3.73s all the way, if not 4.10s,,
4.30s are way too much for a Gt i think,,Cobras like it better since you can rev the car higher.,.

how much of a difference is seen with the 3.73 than the stock 3.27s? i know 4.10s would be a whole lot different but im going more towards the 3.73

not a huge difference from your stock gears to 3.73's. if u are going to stay n/a go with 4.10's but if in the future u spray/turbo/charged your car then go with the 3.73's.

4.6 2v has no torque, so lower gears really help

yea but u only see that torque on high rpm's so the way i see it is the faster u get to those high rpms the better, but it seems that u set your mind on 3.73's so just put them on your car and have fun with them.

I love my 4.10's. The RPM's are up there on the highway but it never sees that anyway.
