:Word:

I got a whole rear end laying around with 3.73's and I'm thinking on throwing the differental in my cobra, I can't swap out the whole rear cause it doesn't have ABS

3.73's in a N/A DOHC powered ride is for girls. I'll drive to PA and make fun of you in person if you do it!

No, 3.73's in a N/A Cobra are "girly gears", but 3.73's in my Cougar are the cat's ass.
