    Ive heard 3.7s are probably the best compromise and if you have a 5 speed you wont notice it as much of course compared to a 4spd auto.

    Cost should be a few hundred bucks. Ive read about 6 speed owners of new commodores having 4.11 and not really noticing it

    Remember your speedo will be out and will need to recaliberate it if you change

    i have 3.7s in my VR 5 speed.. increase in torque is very noticable... i installed an lsd as well at the same time and its great..
    i havent driven at 100km/h since i calibrated my speedo but i'd say its aroun 2400rpm

    Yeah yeah definatly 3.7's. I have run 3.08 to 3.45 and then a set of 3.7 gears and have never been happier. I mate has 3.9's in his Vs and it makes
    1st and 2nd gears not real user freindly (too short) 3.45's are good if you have power.
    All GO
