I am not too sure if anyone has ever asked the question but, Back in the glory days of the old GT's and maybe Cobra's you used to be able to pick a diff ratio am I correct?
If I am correct, why is it that thesedays we can not choose a ratio that we might like and why are we stuck with a high final drive like 2.92:1? Yeah great top end but howabout a better sprint?? I believe Holden use a slightly lower Final drive to Ford which would inturn give a good fuel return around town and with the 6 speed auto's and manuals thesedays, I am sure we could do with a slightly lower final drive aswell. the 290 and 260 would both stand to gain more from it unless the first gear ratio in the gearboxes is too low as they are which would be the only downside I can see. Anyone else have an opinion?
