Default 5-Speed/rear-end gears
Hello everyone, I have a question.

I am trying to decide what rear-end gears would be best for my
Cobra when using a five speed (tremec) tranny? I originally ordered my car with the standard 3:54. After some thought and input from others that may not be a very good combination esspecially with first gear being 3:27. I have heard that first gear is almost worthless, 3:54 rear and 3:27 trans. Anyway I thought I would ask to see what all of you think??

Tire size:
Front-235/60-15
Rear-295/50-15

Thanks in advance.

Mike
