are the gears in 96 GT's diff than 03? My friend at 60mph in 4th is at 2k rpm while I'm at 2600 in my 03...Or is this just cuz the tranny's are diff?

96's came with a 2.83 rear end or something close to that. i think 3.27's may have been an option.

Transmission gear ratios are slightly different

T-45
3.37/1.99/1.33/1.00/0.67

T-3650
3.38/2.00/1.32/1.00/0.68

But the main reason is different rear end gears. 99+ have 3.27's, before that, 2.73's were standard

98 gt's with the upgraded package (17 inch rims) have 3.27's and a diff exhaust mani. that match the 99's+ thats why 98's sound so damn mean sometimes
