for all those with a newer gran prix with 3800 II

I just drove a 2002 Buick Lesabre the other day with the 3800, and first gear went to 50 mph! Is that how the gears are in a new gran prix? I would hope not, cause the car had good power, but it would accelerate a lot quicker if it had shorter gear ratios.

I agree it has a wide gear ratio...

But with a heavy car and that ratio, you still get good econ comparitively.

My 'rents SS loves to sit in four gear @ 45mph; every time I drive, it's in 3rd!
