The 3.29 gear helps the GT get out of the hole. The 2.94 in the GTP helps to get great gas mileage.

The GT does well with a top end swap because of the 9.something compression ratio and the 3.29 gears.

The GTP has a compression ratio of low 8s.

Now if you put that 3.29 gear in the GTP and a smaller pulley...

I was waiting for someone to bust out the turbomini van! By the way, even with the mods I have, once my car is going and I stomp on it it doesn't necessarily have the same power as if I jumped off the line. So maybe that guy got stuck in a 3rd or 4th when he slammed it and "Lol, he lost to a mini van!"
