Because to go the same speed you are going to be doing a higher rate of rpm's. 2.73's at 60 you may be 2000, where as 4.10 at 60 you may be around 2800.
that makes you slower on the highway? I disagree that 4.10's will make you slower on the highway than 3.73's.

But once again, this is something that if you are looking for something to make you fast in the 1/4, who gives a crap. If I wanted mileage I would drive a 4 banger.

Ya gears conflict with different transmissions.
3.73s in a sn95 car or a car with T45 tranny runs about same RPM at 70mph as a car with 4.10s and a 3650 tranny. Thats why some people say 3.73 and some people say 4.10

go with 3.73's if you like the highways. 4.10's are great off the line, but WILL slow you down on the highway. and not to mention more money for gas.
wow... i lost 1mpg by installing 4.10s... also i gained speed on the highway. I dont know what the hell your talking about.

3.73's are a good compromise if you do not plan on dragging your car all the time at the track. For all around "drivability" I vote for 3.73's.

GET THE 4.10s!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 3.73s, and I wish I had had the ***** to go big every day. They are not bad on gas at all (at least not much worse than the 3.73s, or not enough to worry about it). If i can come up with the money im gonna take the hit and swap again.
