Do anyone's car also feel like a turd when launching with these gears. It's utterly gutless for the first 10..20ft. I'm FF tune and intake only on a 16 premium. My drag radials seem nearly pointless.

Hah! You should try them in my lard ass V6 convertible! Unfortunately 3.55s are really hard to find and insanely expensive to upgrade to.

3:15's? I can't even imagine. My 3:31's feel gutless as is.
I really didn't think they would feel so bad from a stop..... but coming from a PP car its horrific lol. Good for boost...... gives me an excuse to save.

I spin the tires anytime I go WOT from a stop, so I don't particularly understand where the gutless argument comes from.

My car would spin the tires as well with the 3.15's when it was bone stock. With a 4.17 1st gear in the transmission it's not difficult.

But in essence what you're feeling is the gutless converter, not the gearing.

Ford calibrated the throttle response in D mode to ramp up gradually. You can tell if you go full throttle, the car will pull harder about 1 second after.
If you use S mode, it will pull hard instantly.

I'm tuned.... that should be taken care of.

I use mine as DD and love the 3.15's. I originally had a 2015 EB mustang that was getting 24MPG and my GT with 3.15's gets 21MPG. I think that is insane for a 435HP V8 on my commute of mixed driving.

I have no issues with my gears. No problems at all spinning my tires in sport mode.

Always fun to see M6 guys compare to the A6, when the first gear is so steep in the latter.

My auto gt with 3.55's does not feel sluggish at all from a stop, with no problem blowing the tires away on the stock tune. Pulls way harder (sotp)than the 6m with 3.31 Ive driven, dig and roll (especially in first gear).:shrug:
6r80 has similar gearing in 2nd and 3rd gears as the mt82 with a much steeper 1st gear.

In regular "D" drive mode the car is a piece of shit embarrassment.
Whoever says its acceptable has no F*#^ clue how this car should perform.
But put it in Sport + or Track. Car performs amazingly.

Needless to say I'm always in Track mode and daily drive it.
Screw the gas consumption.
Buy a Corolla if thats the case.
