What rear gear does each car have do you know?

Not sure but thank you for the tip. I will ask.
Of the two BDR's Roush equipped cars, The car I like has the R, but I'd prefer the SR-TW motor IMHO. SR-TW is pushin 10,000 miles, the R nearing 2000 miles.
In my younger years I was running full up sprint cars. Two things of several would get my goat. Having an engine that would buck and snort at low RPM if you got stuck in traffic. The other was, coming off the corner and waiting for the torque band to coming in while the guy next to you has his nose on you into the next turn.
I guess point the being, being much slower in my older years, I want a car with great low end power and smooth getting there. Don't want herky, jerky when street driving with the wife. That is why the question on the R.
