Anyone have experience with 3.62 gearing and these tire sizes? Ideally with CA track experience (Buttonwillow, Laguna, Thunderhill).

my friend dom runs the drexler with 3.62 with 275/35/18 maybe it was 285? i don't remember. . and he says its absolutely amazing. ill send you his IG handle so you can talk to him. |
Please do, I think I'd love a 3.62 after driving a 3.45 FD car (thanks
spooni ) - it didn't feel much shorter than OEM with 285/30 tires. According to my math a 3.45 is ~9% shorter and running a 285/30 tire is ~4% shorter than a OEM FD with 275/35 tires.
I plan to run 295/30 eventually so I don't want to go too short with a 3.62.
Sorry for the very specific questions, thanks all!
