Re: New Kid
Welcome to the forum and the gas mileage difference between 3.42's and 3.73's will not be anything major maybe 1-2 MPG in worst case. I hope we can all help you and if there is anything I can do let me know.

Re: New Kid
i would imagine that he is referring to the question about what else to get for the body.
what are you looking for? something like a body kit? are you talking like decals or something? or are you talkin in terms of paint jobs or something?

i don't have any questions i just want more of ideas for what to do to it what i really want is to get it fast enough just to beat my brother his got a 94 mustang gt but his put alot of money in to it so yah i figured some of u guys would have some good idea of what to do to it and about the gears so if either ones not that big of a differnce for gas mileage are the any different for acceleration
sorry for not making that all clear

Re: New Kid
sall good. the higher gear will accelerate faster, but the higher the gear the lower the top speed. i put 3.42s on my car and didnt notice a difference in mileage but there was a slight difference in acceleration. if you're lookin to take down a suped up GT i would suggest the 3.73s. you'll see a much greater effect than with the 3.42s
