Gears - to answer the questions once and for all - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

In our group, all the guys had 4.10 gears with a few bolt ons. I was stock with 3.27s (we're talking GTs here). In street races, I'd stay fender to fender with them every time, whether from a dig or from a roll. After I did some bolt-ons but left the gears stock, I started to pull on them. They couldn't figure out why and swore that I had nitrous or something. Nope...it's just that while my car was winding out, they were in the next lane shifting like crazy.

So... for this Mach 1 I'm planning to leave the 3.55s in place. Car seems to pull really well against highly modded 3V cars, so I'm happy with it.
