Why would it suck? Some of us love steep gears. They're a torque multiplier, and doesn't like more torque?!?! In fact, I recently ordered 4.56's for my '11 GT to replace the factory 3.73's. I'll just skip gears when driving around town, and use them all when I'm wide-open-throttle.

I'm curious because im saving up for a mustang but if i can't afford the gt or the v6 premium, i want to know if the base v6 is worth it or if i should just buy an entirely different car.

Like I said, I wouldn't go past 3.73s if you do any decent amount of highway driving. You will definitely feel the difference with 3.73s or 3.55s coming from the 2.73 gears. Obviously its your car, but I could not live with being over 3K in 6th on the highway....
