3.55's are a 'rare' option and considering the car has been out only a few months there haven't been many made with this option.
Interesting point. From reading the mustang forums, it seems that many are going 3.73 thinking it is fastest 1/4. People that have a 3.73 often say its too high, and for daily driving the 3.55 or 3.31 would be way better.

I will have to make a post asking if what you all are saying is true. I understand the extra shift logic, just never heard any indication to what you all are saying.
