100 a month was for everything. Extended warranty, extended maintenance, and tire coverage. Might be a bit much but not having to freak out about my tires or clutch plate is worth it in my book. I don't know what your dealer might offer you but those were what my dealer offered and I skipped on the GAP insurance ( 15k down kinda defeats that ) and any sort of coating they tried to put on the car.
The maintenance cost had a $100 deductible which is great for what I'm paying a month. I'm planning on keeping this car until one of us dies. A lot can happen in 5 years and even cars that are kept in excellent condition can have expensive parts wear out. Especially with a new model engine you never know what might happen so I'm going to play it safe with some strong insurance and maintenance coverage. That extra 100 a month might be the difference between a Mustang and a BMW but when that beamer breaks down you are going to wish you had that coverage.

3.38 x 3.31 = 11.19 (To tall)
3.38 x 3.55 = 12.00 (Much Better)
3.38 x 3.73 = 12.61 (My favorite Street and Track)
3.38 x 4.10 = 13.86 (1st is to short on the street. In 4th in the traps this gear is to tall and yet 3rd is way to short).
2011
3.66 x 3.31 = 12.11 (The current quickest Showroom Stock Car 12.58 @ 112 runs this gear)
3.66 x 3.55 = 12.99 (I went with this gear as its closest to what I liked in the old car and shouldnt hit the limiter in 4th)
3.66 x 3.73 = 13.65 ( I feel this will hit the limiter in 4th in good air and be to short in 1st on the street. Makes 4th more usable for Open Tracking).
My Choices would be:
Street Only - 3.31
Street/Strip On Factory Tires - 3.55
Strip on 28" Tires or Open track - 3.73
Nobody can tell you what to go with its all personal preference. So far Im completely happy with my 3.55 gears.
