The '95's came with 3.27s. Compare that to a 2.73 gear, and that's about a 0.20 difference in the quarter. 0.20 is worth roughly 20 hp, which equates to about 200 lbs. That equalizes the weight penalty. I'm not making this stuff up, they're all rules of thumb.
Beyond that. I believe the 95 AOD had improved first and second gear ratios vs. the 91.
I'm also going off of my perceptions of driving a stock 93 AOD, and a stock 96 AOD. The 93 could barely spin the tires from a dead stop, while the 96 would roast'em at will. My honest perception was that the '96 came out of the hole a lot harder.
Does anyone have any data from magazines?
