I have 3.73's and love them. What is your purpose for the car? Mainly track or daily driver? If 3.73's are too much gear or you don't think you'll like them there's always the option of going with 3.42's.

Sorry, I completely agree with what you just said. I just figured that 3.23's only came in autos. I never heard of a 3.23 m6 car.

i dropped .4 tenths going from 3.23s to 3.73s, but i also added headers, true duals dumped, and a 2400 stall at the same time....

I don't think that they helped all that much

I think 3.23 and 3.42 are great gears for street cars. I have 3.42s in my V6 and love em. My girl has 3.23's in the T/A and loves them too.

Your right, im pretty sure only 3.42s cam with m6. BUT with as many people that have torn up rear ends and swapped you never know

Some 93's came with that gear depending on what t-56 they came with. I have a 3.23 from when my car was an a4 now its an m6. Not too bad
