Default 4.10's

i'm getting the idea that 4.10's are almost too much power on the low end. will my 87 stang still be driveable in the city (car is intended for weekend driving)

maybe some pro's and con's of 4.10's

thx

i know coming off the line quick is your main goal but will i still be able to cruise instead of going all over the place?

4.10's will be great as long as you have good tires that will hook in first and second gear, only other downside i can see is your leg may get tired from shifting so fast

What is the mathematical formula to determine your gear ratio? Ring divided by yoke?
