Some people like a "stump-puller" first gear, and that's OK; 3.88 stock Ghia (or even Bug) gears work nice in a Speedster. But I will second Danny on this point: 3.44 R&P doesn't "lug." The RPM/Speed ratios are easy to see in the gear chart. It's not as "snappy" to 30 mph but I have found it very drivable in both local traffic and highway scenarios with two different cars and very different engines.
