right now I am looking at highway racing, and I have an auto. I use it for everyday driving, but only occasionally. Basically I drive it to work, but only when I have to.

4.10 for auto, 3.73 for manual.

What do you mean "Highway race?" I'm almost afraid to ask.

Street racing is racing from a dead stop at redlights. Highway racing is from a roll. Atleast that's the way I look at it, even though they are both considered street racing because they are on the street.
