^The final drive ratio of mine and chris' cars is 3.3 to 1 and an "open diff" aka "one-wheel-wonder"
The one Chris is getting (and the one I want) is a 3.5 to 1 so it's a little 'quicker' ratio. Gives the car a little more kick off the line, and only bumps a tiny amount off the top speed (of 150... who needs to go 150???)
It's also a limited-slip differential, so it puts power much more evenly to both rear tires, instead of burning it all off on one.
