4.10s or 3.73s
Im thinking of putting some differernt gears my 97 gt. From what i understand 4.10s are good for low end acceleration and torque while 3.73s are good from all around. Which would be better for a daily driver

RE: 4.10s or 3.73s
How much do you drive on the highway? Personally, I drive on the highway 15 miles one way to school every day, and still went with 4.30's. It isn't that bad, and I cruise at a slower speed now so I don't turn 3k rpm when just cruising. I would suggest you get 4.10's. I put 3.73's in my old 96' GT vert and I wasn't happy, especially when my buddy with a 98' GT went with 4.10's and I got to ride in that.

Check these out for pricing: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...ategory=MGEARS
You can also check on eBay for deals. I would look for FRPP gears, but any should be fine so long as they are installed correctly.
