4.10s all the way. My buddy has 4.30s in his 94gt and i think there a bit too much for an everyday driver. Hes actually looking to swap them out because he tops his car out when he track races it.

My buddy got some 4:10s in his 97 cobra with 01 cobra engine. Soon after going throught his first week of amazement, he told me he soon realized he didn't enjoy the HWY aspect of 4:10s. He basically said they're AWESOME for drag racing and if you do it alot. Alot of expirienced ppl have adviced me to get 3:73s for the somple fact of my car being a ddriven car. I just can't imagine driving on the hwy to Los Angeles(about 1.3hr) listening to my exhaust. I enjoy a peaceful drive... lol...damn that sounded a little gay, imma go gun to recover from that. But ya'll know what I mean....

my exhaust is no quieter on the highway with the 3.73s than with the 4.10s.. there is literally a 300rpm difference. The pull you get from 4.10s is worth 300 more rpms.

nascrchi, your car has the t45 in it which has a .67 5th gear in it...my car has a .62 5th gear so you'll be higher on the highway than i would. 4.10's all around are the best and i think you'd actually have less interior noise at 75 than i would because drone stops at 2500rpm for me. just so you know...

3.73s, 4.10s just over the top for a daily driver. 3.73s will still put you in the seat

^Not that much...and it really depends on the car and the power. Ive ridden in a full bolt-on GT with 3.73's and it didnt feel that fast. My car feels faster with 4.10's and just the mods in sig. I mean his car used to have 4.10's in it and spray, now he sprays on the 3.73's with the same shot and its not as fast...

LOL i wish people would stop with this whole 3.73s for street 4.10s for race, or the "i drive on the highway" argument. No ****... we all use the damn highway. iv had all types of exhaust systems and stock, 4.10s n 3.73s. Im in a vert which is even noisier than a coupe.. iv never not been able to hold a conversation at a normal volume level while driving on the highway... ever.

the difference in RPM is minimal. The increase in acceleration is vast. The excuses I hear why people go with 3.73s over 4.10 crack me the hell up. unless your going with 3.73s because you have a car capable of out-traping 4.10s in 4th, your excuses to go 3.73 is falsely based and retarded.
