Torched10 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 2nd question, same 2012 car--it has a 373 rear in it--my car has 355 gears...I like to drive around in 3rd alot, and im wondering if the 373 is too tall for me ,and ill be shifting alot more--also concerend about it more squirrely at traffic lights etc. Thoughts--also dealer says he can put in a 355, but not sure thats a good idea for reliabilty-or are there other things like tranny that are tuned in to rear Again,any thoughts would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical08 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I have 3:73 in my 2010 and no issues at all driving and I'm not shifting all the time from 3rd gear. 1-2 are spunky though but I also have 750hp and rip the tires off 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmcmotorworks Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have 3:73 rear ends in both my 2010, and 2012 GT350. have 3:55 in my 2011 GT500. For just cruising around town and on highway the 3:55 is much more of a relaxing drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonefish Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Interesting...I've got 3:55's and was thinking of making the jump to 3:73's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 It's a pretty minor change. I went from 3.55 to 3.73 so I could put the car in 5th around town and not feel like it was lugging. Didn't change too much. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 wound up buying a 2014--it has 3:31 gears--im guessing they did that to stop folks from constanyly spinning tires on launch with 3:55s--Being delivered Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 wound up buying a 2014--it has 3:31 gears--im guessing they did that to stop folks from constanyly spinning tires on launch with 3:55s--Being delivered Friday They completely changed the transmission gear ratios too. It allows a couple of things. A: As you suspect, it takes advantage of the greater torqe the '13/'14 produces; B: It allows a 0-60mph time in only first gear thereby removing the 1-2 shift lag for a faster 0-60 time (advertising advantage) and C: It allows a 1/4 mile ET with one less shift for a slightly quicker 1/4 mile time, again a advertising advantage.
