I've gone to 2nd gear at 35-40mph, with 3.27gears and a t-5, same tire size, and have made many of kills, a coulple i remember another mustang, and a couple eclipses.

So when i get 3.73 i know i might miss these granma gears jusst a little.

I have dropped to 3rd at 70mph, but i think that put me too high on the tach, about 5500 rpm.
