3:42 or 3:73 ???
Want to have the best of both words. Want better 1/4 times and still want to do the road ralleys with the local Corvette club.
I don't have access to different cars to drive.
Which gears would be better?
Thanks for the help. :flag

I have a 6 speed and thought it comes stock with 2:73. What does the stock 6 speed have?
6 spd come stock w/3.42's..I would go 3.90's or 4.10's

3.73 for an A4 wish you could ride in one it is not a big deal I have five factory cars and 3 of them turn about the same RPM's as my 3.73 corvette.

Uhhhh..he has a 6 speed. I dont think he needs a torque converter. Depending on your mods, I would probably go with the 4:10's unless you are planning on a supercharger.
