you are asking what is the final gear ratio? well it is the last gear that drives the wheels. the one that is actually connected to your axels. on a front engine car the final gear is located in the rear axel or pumpkin.
i hope that is what you were looking for

especially on the fat-a$$, low-teck mustang, what a waste of hp....

how would you know. Have you test driven it? Didnt think so. And it would kick the $hit out of our cars.

Final ratio is something to do with all the ratios...tranny and rear-end.

BTW, the Mustang is not Low-Tech anymore!

Probably has 4.10's?

the final drive, final ratio, whatever they desire to call it, is the gearing in the differential
