3.42 or 3.55s?
kind of a stupid question but how much of a diffrance can you feel in a 3.55 gear compared to a 3.42 i have a chance at a brand new set cheap but if theres not much of a diffrance im not gonna bother. thanks for any advice

The only thing you will notice is a tiny bit of rpm increase at the same cruising RPM. I swapped entire rears between two of my cars once to go from 3.08's to 3.27's. Can't say there was too much of a change. I wouldn't waste my time with that if I were you, though I didn't even know 3.42 was a ratio for our cars.

so would the 3.55s be worth investing in for the 100 bucks he wants for them?

If you want 3.55's than yes. But if you have 3.27's, then probably not... IDK
2.73's were Standard 3.08's were special option manual cars 3.27's were special option automatic cars I would spin and count yours to find out what you have, or check to see if the tag is still on the pumpkin. Look close, it's bent around sometimes.

So from best (or worst depending on how you view it) case 3.08's to 3.55's could be worth it... All in how you view it. What is your driving conditions and your use of your car. City, highway, mix, more of one than the other. Do you care about gas mileage. What's in your car, stick or auto? Are you heavily modded, or just starting? What's your intentions: street or strip?
Answer all those questions and we can shoot you in a direction.
