At 75MPH I turn about 2250 RPM with 3.55's on my manual. And the gear calculator confirms that. You must mean that you turn 2700 RPM with 4.10's at 75 MPH... And the gear calculator also confirms that.

This has nothing to do with grammar. This has to do with mathematics. A little thing called ratios. Putting 4:10 has been a pet peeve of mine as well. This is more than just a typo. You see, I'm a software engineer which means math is my thing. That's all it is, math and logic. So when I see something like this, I just shake my head because 4:10 and 4.10 are completely different things and shows the person has no clue about what they're doing to their car. Now, if this was a one time thing where they did it once or twice but did it right most of the time I guess I could let it slide. But I'm quite sure that is not the case now.
Now if you moderators want to add me to this list of "a-holes" also go ahead. God forbid I try to being some real tech to this forum. Something it really lacks.

But you're letting your profession taking too big of a proportion here...
I'm guilty of that as well sometimes so it's nothing personal.
I sure don't get bent out of shape when people are calling their fender the "front quarter panel" on these boards. I know they mean the front fender. Key word being "Front".
It's like me saying a person has no clue to what they're doing to their car's appearance because they're modding it without being a pro. But a pro can do it for them just fine.
Same with gears... A non gear head (lol) guy can order gears for his car and use any freaking formula he wants as long as he states 4 and 10, he'll get the right stuff.
The pro already knows the ratio and what he's talking about.
Ring gear 41 teeth and pinion gear 10 teeth makes 41/10=4.10.
I'm not an engineer or a mechanic but that's more than I need to know to purchase correct gearing for my sled.

That is correct sir - stating rpms at 3.55:1 (everyone happy with this) would be irrelevant - where this thread went wrong I have no idea

C'mon, guyz. Everyone gets to go off on a tangent and vent/harass/annoy/ATTEMPT to show off every once in awhile. Even I have been know to take the douche bag detour... Isn't that right, pascal? 
Let it go, gents. Besides, there are other threads just BEGGING for some asinine comments.

OK, we're done here.
I'll re-open this thread if the OP wants me to and if so, I'll edit the BS posts as they come up.
