[QUOTE="Daffy, post: 13148122, member: 7210"] The 3.31 with the HP produced = 200+ MPH topspeed. Which gets great articles written about the most powerful & fastest production mustang of all time. It also nets more consistent quarter mile performance, making the car easier to drive on hard acceleration, and generally more favorable on a road course for the same reason, the power is applied more smoothly and controllably. For street driving, 3.73 is way more enjoyable. The car feels lighter and zippier while still producing all that power. With decent driving & the right tires, the 3.73 will be quicker in acceleration, so the quarter mile requires a bit more skill to get optimal but the result could be in the .2-.5 quicker ET. In my experience I've gone from 3.08 to 3.55 and dropped .4 on my ET, and in the distant past I swapped my 2.73 rear for a 3.73 and dropped .6 and the car felt like it had 100 more HP. So for all around track performance and magazine testing, etc., the 3.31 will yield overall great results .. hec, the 2013 GT500 is in the top 20 Leguna Seca fastest lap times - yes, a mustang, right behind the Porsche GT3 RS. That's competitive with worldwide exotics costing multiple times more. Going to 3.73s is a super simple mod, so gearheads wanting more zip can make the change pretty easily so it's a common mod on all flavors and years of mustangs. Dave. [/QUOTE]
