The stock gears on awd US SVXs are 3.55's. These gears are perfect for cruising on the highway, but terrible for quick get-up and go at the dragstrip.

I'm probably the only owner to have had both 4.11 and 4.44's in my car, and I must say the mechanical advantage from the lower gearing really helps! The 4.11's effectively multiply engine torque to the wheels by 16%, while 4.44's increase by 25% (it's even higher in the first two gears).
