3.23s'(GU5 performance axle option) is better acceleration and worse mpg than the standard 2.73s'(GU2) that come with automatic cars.
Exactly what answer are you looking for based on the vagueness of your question ?

The good is highway driving and economy with the automatic transmission. Performance wise there is no good. Like Firstyrls1z said, you need to be a little more specific with your question.

Be happy you don't have 2.73s.

What is your 'setup' ? are we supposed to guess ?
Using the term 'my setup' is generally used to describe modifications,if you're stock,then say so.
GU5 option code is 3.23 gears,GU2 is 2.73 gears.

MY set up is a bone stock ta ws6 with auto with 8700 miles ok ! I no **** about cars other than oil changes. Ask me about laws, and GUNS which are my my passion. I was a public safety safety, police/fire sgt ret. after 26 years. Bought the car from one of my "clients" It is mint but I'm a newbe.

The 3.23 are great all around gears . your car should pull good from low or high speeds. Take it out and see. It will do everything on the speedometer

if you bought the car to joy ride the 3.23's are fine. If you want better acceleration in the future swap the 3.23's for a set of 3.73's and the car will be a lot more fun to drive. You won't give up much fuel mileage doing this.

3.73s' and a 3600-4000 convertor.
I have a passion for firearms too.
If you found my post as rude,it wasn't intended that way,it's just that we needed more info to be able to proceed.

thanks for the posts they gave me my answer . No problem you were just trying to help. To bad we can't talk guns, guns and cars are alike in a lot of ways.
