FA24 with 4.3 all day for me. If gen 2 comes with a 3.9, the substantial cost savings of the MY17-20 could tempt me.

For me, 3.9 or 4.1 or 4.3, I'm fine. The 2022 is going to be quite a bit quicker with any of those ratios vs. FA20/4.3. Indeed, if you look at Car and Driver test results, the '17 car with 4.3 gears was pretty much 0.1 second quicker at every ZERO-to-XX mph, with the same 1/4-mile trap speed of 95mph. Basically you get one tenth of a second ONLY going from 0-30(ish), beyond that, identical acceleration, despite a few more horsepower and only +13 lb..

0 -30mph: '13 = 2.3s, '17 = 2.2s
30-40mph: '13 = 1.0s, '17 = 1.0s
40-50mph: '13 = 1.4s, '17 = 1.4s
50-60mph: '13 = 1.6s, '17 = 1.6s
60-70mph: '13 = 1.9s, '17 = 1.9s
70-80mph: '13 = 2.2s, '17 = 2.3s
80-90mph: '13 = 2.8s, '17 = 2.7s
90-100mph: '13 = 3.2s, '17 = 3.2s
30-100mph: '13 = 14.1s, '17 = 14.1s
4.3 vs. 4.1 just wasn't that big a deal, unless you are specifically interested in that 0.1s advantage from 0-30!
