Why did Ford put 3.31 highway gears in a 2013/2014 Shelby performance car?

Short of drag slicks, I already can't go full throttle in first or second gear without serious wheel spin and that is with the mid gear 3.31. A highway gear is like a 2.70 or so.Why did Ford put 3.31 highway gears in a 2013/2014 Shelby performance car?
Yep.The gears are matched to the transmission ratios and the powerband of the engine. You don't label gears one way or another because they are simply part of the recipe. Look at the gears of Mercedes AMG or BMW M cars, they can be 3.1x or even lower.
