- Just for your own reference, I have 4.10s and recently drove to Philly and back on the Pa Turnpike (roughly 130 miles both ways) and maintained ~72MPH. Did do some driving around Philly and then some driving the next day around home on some back roads. While I wasn't driving the car like I was racing the Nurburgring, I wasn't driving it like I was driving my grandmother to her Sunday church service either... I got just under 25MPG.

-I think getting over 20MPG is very acceptable for anything with a V8, let alone a sports car/muscle car/whateveryouwanttocallit with a V8. You can easily get 20MPG with 4.10 gears regardless of what kind of driving you do IMO. Don't forget if you get a set of gears, you'll want to get a handheld turner to recalibrate the speedo. American Muscle is a great place to order anything you need for your car.

Both are faster then my GT, but I'm not too worried about it. Overall I have a better car, more fun to drive, and just more manly. My old civic was pretty quick, probably quicker then my GT but atleast now people look and they give me a thumbs up, rather then laugh at my econo **** box. I would probably rather have my old WRX then my GT but the WRX to me was a pain to work on, and the stock 5 speed transmissions are ticking timebombs
