Do you have an auto or manual? (If the 3.27s are stock, I assume you have the AODE.)

I believe 3.27s were stock only on AODE and Cobras.

I would just go with the 3.73s. I've currently got 3.55s and hardly noticed a difference at all when I installed them.

If you think you have 3.27s then I would opt for 3.73s. If you have 2.73s or 3.08s and can get 3.55s for free, I would opt for them.

If you haven't ordered already i would go with 4.10 gears, had them in my 04 GT and 60 mph was only around 1800-2000 rpms. Don't fear the gear!

If I remember right, I think it was the SN95s that responded so well and so comfortably to 4.10s. So yeah! 3.73s or 4:10s!

Both are related to upgrades to the performance of your car. No need for two similar threads.

As for as modifications . . . how about some suspension/chassis modifications? Springs, shocks, aluminium driveshaft, tune?

Suspension mods really make the car behave alot better on turns. Mine has poly sway bar bushings & end links and 03 Cobra coupe springs. Made a great upgrade. Also adding Hawk pads make it stop better.
