ok what is up with 2.73 rear end?

i have noticed a couple people wanting to trade out the 2.73 is there an inherent flaw or is it something other? i have that rear in my car and i want to know if i need to be looking to swap it soon or if it is just not a racer.

Nothing wrong with the rearend. 2.73 ratio is great for hwy mileage but sucks for acceleration.

You just need more then stock Horsepower & Torque and you won't notice anything.

if you plan on racing i would definatley change it out but you will get better gas milage with your 2.73's but your acceleration will suffer
