4.10s driven 4.10s and 3.73s on all combo GTs, (auto and stick each with different gears), some people say that with 4.10s you have traction problems and 1st gear is short, well, it is, and for traction, get a lighter foot or start off in second, 4.30s exist, and you can go with 4.56s or 5.16s.
is the car your DD?

Real men drive 5.16's
Dave, I made a comment regarding those a while back, they are actually 5.13:1 (M-4209-G513), and it seemed like no one knew what the hell I was talking about. I couldn't imagine trying to hook up with those!

Forgot: Motive makes a 3.90:1 if you think that 4.10 is too much and 3.73 is too little. Just something else to consider

you can hit 168mph with 4.10's... but you need to make enough power to get their first... besides how often will this guy want to do above 160?!!?

I dunno how often i will run 160+ MPH! But sometime i will... there are tracks on the highway where are no limits... just what your car can put out. ^^ So you say with 400RWHP i can hit +160MPH? Or how much HP must i have to go 160+MPH with 4.10?
