So where is this huge gearing advantage coming into play? Are you saying the mustang has more of an advantage than we have seen thus far? Gearing is not the same, but neither is power delivery, at all. Shorter gearing is not always better, but lighter always is. Gearing is about balance and a higher spinning engine will benefit from shorter gearing much more (I know there isn't a huge difference ls3 to 5.0, just making a general statement). 4.10's or as said earlier 4.55's, may not actually make the car run any faster down the 1320, but taking off 200 pounds sure as hell will.
