A few other negatives of 4.10s which I don't think anyone has mentioned:

- If, in the future, you plan to use forced induction, you will likely find 1st to be useless - just spin (there are those who do have 4.10s and FI and like it though)
- If you ever planned to AutoX, 4.10s will bump you in class to where you won't be competitive
- If you ever plan to drive on a highspeed track (a road course) you may not have enough top speed in 4th and too little torque in 5th - depends on track

4.10's are no detriment on a daily driver. The pure and simple fact is that they make the car more fun to drive - as Fourth Horseman said: Don't Fear The Gear!!!! I don't race my car - it's purely street driven. With the AC on, cruise set at 80MPH, I can knock down 22MPG on the highway. Dropping the thing down to 4th and nailing it is evil fun My only regret is that I didn't go with 4.30's! That way my overall ratio would be 4.10 instead of 3.90 due to the 295/45/18 tires I have in the back [8D]

4:10s' give your car edge over the normal 3:55s'. You will take off faster , you will accelerate faster at any speed. You will be happy.

I want 3.90 gears.

I have the stock 3.31's. IMO 4.10s would be too much with gas prices rising. 3.73's seem to be more practical.

Are those negatives?

My car came with 3.55's, I felt that 5th gear on the Hwy was a little flat. I put 4.10's in and they were awesome. However, I spend A LOT of time on the Interstate.......and cruising at 80+ for a couple of hours with the 4.10's just wasn't for me, two reasons A) 3200 rpm's ( ) and B) 3200 rpm's ( )

Enter 3.73 Gears, the car performs great around town, and on the Interstate, it's all good. I'm very happy with them.

I dont do much highway driving and my mpg actually went up a few from 16 ish to a regular 19.8 mpg So it all depends on where you drive it and how I supposes but Im happy as a pig in **** to see my mpg go up. Takes less to get the car moving to the speed limit basically is what i find. with my 3:55 seemed I had to get on it more to get there with the 4:10 im in 5th before I know it and my rpms are low as a ****...........oh ya and when you want to get on it say bye bye to the guys with 3:55 and same mods

So much more fun roasting your tires in 2nd rather then just chirping them. ya I could spin them good in 2nd before with stock gears but had to have my rpms way high now I can just down shift to 2nd and chomp on it while im already cruising and kick my *** out nicely.....stockers just dont do that.

Only drawback to 4.10s I can think of is your face hurting from all the smiling. As far as top speed, its not like your pegging 5th at 130 or anything. I just pull harder through 130 on to my same as stock 145ish top speed. For Stateside HWY driving 4.10s are fine. As for mileage on the hwy, on average, I got 350-360 miles per tank of gas when I lived in NM doing 90% hwy driving. I didn't go all mythbusters on it but I did track my miles on the trip O/D and it matched up.
