How do you feel after getting 4.10's ?
I'm not trying to make this one of the thousands of gear posts. I have done the research and read through the other threads over and over. I know about the 'slight' difference in rpms between 4.10s and 3.73s and the big difference in the feel. Everyone says you will regret not doing 4.10s, others say its too high, others say they did 3.73's and regret not going higher. My question is primarily to those who went with 4.10's and there feelings afterwards, but also for 3.73 owners too.
Also side note, is it scary in the rain with 4.10s ?
*Oh yeah and please Vote*

Had 3.73's then went to 4.10's...now want 4.30's. Drove with my 4.10's several times in heavy rain, light ran etc and my 335/35/17's on the rear are more trouble than the gears.

I had 4.10's & wanted 4.30's. After 4.30's I wanted 4.56's.
Either way, you'll be pleased with the 4.10's, simply can't go wrong.
It won't be scary in the rain as long as you don't put your foot in it.

RE: How do you feel after getting 4.10's ?
I just don't understand you guys and your massive gears . 456s on a car that sees any street driving???
How do you even get traction at 1/2 throttle on the street? Hell, I had probs before the blower getting tractoin with the 3.73s, and I can't imaigne the problems 4.10+ would have caused unless I heated my tires before every single race.
If I were to buy a GT and do nothing else but say exhaust and gears/tires, I would go with a 4.10 and be done. Anything more and I was totally happy with my 4.10s.

Maybe its because you're still running stock wheels which means skinny tires. Most of these guys have 315s...or in Code's case 335's lol.

i really didnt think you could shoe-horn a 335 on the back? I got 18x10s yet to go on, will 335s fit them (he shudders with excitement)?
