I thought the same way you did. But that was because I was used to the 5.0L I had. I had 3:73's in that and it was perfect IMO. A buddy put 4.10's in his '99 GT and holy crap it woke the car up. Went from running 14.4's to 13.9's. The RPM's are only 250-300 higher than stock. I am glad I went 4.10's and would actually consider the 4.30's. You will have to go for a ride and see for yourself. I will find out at the track soon enough if it was worth it.
I know though I am going to be nervous if I line up against you. 99 MPH is no slug. With a 2.0 short times I can see 13's out of that beast.
Well, you learn something everyday. 4.10s sound like the way to go. I'm assuming you haven't taken the GT to the track yet? I don't think I saw one single 99+ GT at the track on Sunday. It was either a 94-98 GT or 03 Cobra.
What's your opinion of the Bullit? I seriously think that is a great Stang both in performance and looks. I love the lack of the spoiler and the different rear pillar styling. It comes alrealy lowered (slightly), beefed up brakes, beefed up rear suspension, tastefully done interior, and that revised intake manifold, while not adding much peak power, seems to add a good bit of midrange power. What are guys getting out of their Bullits with gears and exhaust work?
Hmmmm...there are so many cars I'm going to be considering when it comes time to get a new car. I'm considering (used) the WRX, G35, Bullit, and GS400.
