I think the diff will remain, at least for now. One of the (many) things I really like about the Cobra is the huge acceleration. With the 4.3 gears in the rear and a few extra ponies, I am sure I will be even happier. I know 1st will be next to useless now and I will still be running at around 2800rpm at 110km/h but I just like the push in the seat when the go pedal hits the stop. I'll have to see how the economy (cough .. who cares .. cough) goes. Previously, I was getting around 25mpg on the highway and about 11mpg on the track (I checked it just for laughs one day). I suspect this will change ... significantly.
