Yes they do come mostly with 3.23 and 3.42 but Tib is talking apples to apples. Same mods or both stock. Sometimes even the 02-04 with less mods will out run the 05.

In my one track visit, I ran a 15.40 in high 70s weather with magnaflow muffler, upd, conservative tune, and 3.23s in my ECSB on stock wheels.
