I know you can put like 4.11's in an f-body and ****...and I know we obviously don't have rear ends...but is it possible to change the gears in our cars? Cuz I have decided that 3rd gear is ****ing useless...i swear 4th pulls harder....the gearing is ****ed on our cars...thoughts/opinions? Thanks.

No gears for the GT....... ST tho yes there are. TRD I think makes them but since you have a GT then it dosn't matter anyway. Get a LSD that should help you out a bit.

Third gear works great for me...from 3500 on up its a gem. but anything below this in any gear for our cars sucks. its all about carrying speed and keeping it in the sweet spot.

My car will hang with most anything within reason at about 75-80 range and up to 100. Ot's freakish that it's sooo slow at lower speeds though.

Yea, i think if your doing like 50 in 3rd gear it gets to 80 pretty quick.

Werd....my 3rd gear pulls really well, so i can keep it in 3rd till about 50ish, then go into 4th and really take off. Only thing is that 1st and second are hard to accelerate quickly with, which is kind of a bummer.

You must be racing grand prix's and 3000gt's. Our cars weigh nothing so we tend to take off faster than heavy cars.
