Scott, it seems that you have a 5 speed. For a street driven car that you will not be racing at the track, the gears won't be that big of a deal. The 3.35 first gear in the T-5 gets the car moving pretty good even with the 2.73's. For around town driving you will not see much of a mpg drop going to 3.55 or 3.73 gears as you will be able to use 5 th gear more often. For straight highway driving you will turn more rpm's and burn more gas.

I still may go to 3.27 or 3.55 gears down the road, especially if I end up getting a T-5Z with the 2.95 first gear.
