Go for 3.73's with the 5 spd. If you do mostly city driving you're gas milage gets better believe it or not lol Put some fuel injector cleaner in and you should get 450 km's to a tank, and thats driving it hard half the time

I agree with 3.73 for 5 speed, 4.10 for automatic. If you go 4.10 in your manual, kiss 1st gear completely goodbye.. I wouldn't base your decision solely on RPM's - the difference at highway speeds is only going to be a couple hundred - maybe 3 or 4 mph. (between 3.73 or 4.10, that is). If it were me, i'd go 3.73.

5 speed + 410 = no first gear according to my friend with both in an 85 gt.
