2000 performance rear end advantages?
I just bought a 2000 coupe with and found it has the performance rear end, the 3.15:1 axle ratio instead of the standard 2.73:1 ratio. What is this doing for the car. How is it changing the performance, such as 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile, top speed, etc compared with the standard ratio. Will it change the gas mileage at steady state hightway speeds? I am just really curious as to what makes it different from the standard ratio. All I know right now it that it is head and shoulders above my 1991 that I just traded in. Thanks, Henry
