I have 4.10's currently but I think that is a bit much for me, seeing that I don't race or anything. I also dont like driving around at 35mph and being at about 2000rpms in 3rd gear. I always have overdrive on now it seems, and the engine is sluggish in that gear.

I was thinking maybe 3.75 or 3.55. What do 01 automatic GT's come with stock?

Am I just being a pansy? lol The engine just sounds like it is straining around 2000 rpms.

I vote for Pansy


I think they come with 3.2x not quite sure, but I do know the stock gear sucks. I plan on getting FRPP 4.10s soon.

You could try 3.90s or 3.73s

My year auto came with 3.08s, not sure if you have the same or not.

Yeah i'm being a pansy, heh. I think i'll just keep the 4.10s. Also don't feel like paying $5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 for the install again.
