Just get the 4.10's. Mileage isn't enough of a difference to warrant the lesser performance of 3.73's. My 2 cents.

I have had both in my car. The 4:10s are the best. They are great off the line. And they are not as bad as you would think on the highway.</P>

Here is a direct quote from another guy in here. Look under SVT forum &amp; look for the topic question about gears</P>


here is his quote</P>


"i have 99 cobra with 4.10 i hate them.tire size is 275/35/ZR18 rpms are in 5TH gear.are at 3000@82mph. 4000@110, 5000@138mph. if you cruise at 75mph.rpms are at 2750. im replacing my gears to 3.73 only after 1000miles.hope this helps you out"</P>


Thats a bold statement!</P>
