No, the gear ratio isn't going to have any impact on ride quality.

Unless you consider shifting more a lesser ride quality

Oh lol i have no question that the mustang will be much louder with any sort of exhaust. I just meant that road noise is pretty bad in the Z. The exhaust while no were near a straight piped 5.0, is still pretty agressive.

I hope the build quality has improved over at Ford.

I dumped an 01 GT for my Z and it had 73k on it but it felt like 150k. I love a tourqey V8 as much as the next guy but I can't stand how american cars just simply fall apart just before or definitely after 100k

Ford's quality has gotten MUCH better. I can vouch for that.

I still do not understand the concern over road noise. My Z is pretty quiet. Almost BMW quiet....
