ya you lucked out with 2.73's like me. I don't even know why they put these in our cars, because even with 3.23's i know people are still getting mid 20's gas mileage. I guess theoretically being able to go 300 mph with the 2.73 gears is cool.......

LOL your kidding me right? 300MPH would be a serious deal if a car could do that stock. Even supercars dont pull that off.

I'll believe you if you say you can spin at those speeds, but I don't think those kumho's are up to par. How much tread is left on those things? I had 2.73s with CAI and full exhaust but couldn't spin from ANY speed. That was with the stock wheels on Eagles and also on my ZR1s with Hankooks.
