    Other way around.

    Most W55 box'd cars come with 4.3 or 4.5 diffs.

    So you get like 50 and 85 out of 1st/2nd, instead of 65 and 110 like W58 (and 3.73)

    And then you get like 3100 @ 100kph instead of 2500 @ 100kph like you do with a W58


    Its a lose/lose situation.

    Corona has 3.4 or 3.7 and sits on 2400rpm at 100kmph, vs supra sitting on 2900rpm
    If in doubt power out

    Corona must be one of the very few W55 cars with a decent diff ratio.

    Most 1G's had W55's and 4.3 or 4.555

    RA63 and TA63 both ran W55 with 4.1 ratio diff. Well the ones I've seen did anyway.
