What's the difference between the v6 base and the v6 premium?

Your tires are spinning that much by having the 3.73 gears? So your getting no traction with your stock tires? Is yours a stick or auto? Does having a automatic make a difference in the traction with 3.73 gears. Do you think you would have the same traction issue with 3.55 gears?

I personally would rather not spend the 1800 dollars on the performance package and just get the base with the 2.73 gears. I would rather take that $1800 and buy some mods that would outperform the performance package and push the base 5.0. Ford should allow V6 customers to have 3.55 or 3.73 gears installed on it. But the most is 3.31 gear ratio from Ford. I believe having 3.73 gears on the 11 plus v6 turns the car in a different animal from 2.73 or 3:31. The 11 plus is not that far off from previous GT HP and Torque numbers and 3.55 or 3.73 are the bomb. No reason why the 11 plus shouldn't have them as well. With a Sct bama tuner and cold air intake one can easily raise the HP and Torque to equal or greater than a 10 GT.

I tried to make a new youtube video and do some 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile times with my G-Tech, i can't get enough traction. I ran 5.4, 0 to 60 times before the gears and the aluminum driveshaft. I ran a 7.8 second 0 to 60 after the gears and driveshaft becaues i didn't get traction until 80 m.p.h. 
. I need to get some drag radials
