i'm at work, but it was on youtube..
i was trying to find vids of this so called "4.08" final drive that helps with acceleration. We have final drives for s2000's but they don't do nearly as well as the Z's because its a torque multiplier in a way.. and we all know, it takes more torque to loosen a lugnut than an s2000 puts down..
BUT if you can, "since i can't", go to youtube, look up 3.9 rear end or something of that nature.. there was a vid or a couple of them with the all bolt on/tuned with 3.9 gear racing a stock v8 m3 and kept up with him/her...
AND it was in NOVA... so i thought someone would have known about this..

My buddy in his 03 w/ bolt-ons, tune, and 3.9 gears can rape the new M3's anyday. He also gave a boosted Z a run for his money. The Z only pulled 1 car length by the time they shut off.

Get a Quaiffe LSD, gear driven, no noise, only need to change the oil every 30k miles or so. Then again, this strictly depends on what type of motorsports youre engaged in. The stock VLSD is a **** poor excuse of an LSD. My stock VLSD sucked so bad I could only endure it for 5 days until i went n bought a Quaiffe.
