No, I was talking about a difference in final drive ratio between the two different engines offered in the LT when equipped with an automatic. 3rd column (8L45, 2.0L & 3.6L), last row (Final drive ratio). For the 2.0L its 3.27 but the 3.6L gets 2.77. So the V6 auto is going to be getting roughly 20% taller gearing than the turbo4 automatic.
