Default gears

Im new to the modding world and wanna know if 3.73's are good for daily driving and still give you a difference you can feel or if i should just get 4.10's. BTW I dont wanna start any arguments just wanna hear some opinions.

Most people say if you do a lot of light to light racing and track racing the 4.10s are better, but 3.73s are for more practical everyday driving with a little more take off power.

3.73s make a huge difference in your seat of the pants feel if you are driving a standard transmission... 4.10s might be called for when it comes to the power robbing auto. Ihave 3.73s and get good enough gas mileage while being able to put enough power to the ground fast enough to need some good gripping tires/suspension... even with those going for me I still can get good and sideways if I am not careful... I do have a couple few extra HP than average, but that is where a person aught to be looking in the longer run anyways...

honestly i just got 4.10s they are awesome im not complaining BUT... i dont think they were made for stock GT's... i owned a mach 1 and those gears were made for that car but on ours i think personally 3.73 are the way to go unless you do cams
