Torque to the ground? That isn't a standard measurement that I've ever heard of, since it encompasses so many variables (transmission type, trans gearing, rear end gears, tire size, friction losses due to gearing cut type, etc etc)

The 1LE will definitely *feel* snappier bc of the 3.91's (thus explaining the high demand for the 3.91's), but that's just the multiplier effect of the higher gear ratio, not an increase of torque produced by the motor.

We might say that the 1LE has greater 'fake torque' than a standard SS... LoL
(Come on... its a joke!)
