The '95 TC has the stock 3.08 gears, 3.27 were part of the Ride Control Package and 3.55 were tow package. I think the weight on my title said either 3,900 or 4,000lbs. Either way, I'd like to take it to the track and see, almost seems to be a hit and miss, sometimes people say the car is pretty quick, then others say it is slow, maybe it's just what you've been used to? I think it would be faster then a 16.9, as that is what my '89 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight ran, and the TC seems faster.
It also lists for '78 Coupe DeVille an 18.2, however I ran a 17.5 with my stock '79 Sedan DeVille d;Elegance, it was a consistant 17.5, couldn't believe it, the whole night didn't matter what, it was 17.5. U guess that puts it slower then the '75 Continental, but alot of those numbers seem to be off a bit.
