Not many people are gunna run a 3.55 unless they are turboed or they are stock gears. Like Mach 1s

Most people go with 3.73s if they have a stick or 4.10s if they have an auto. That's the large majority

3.73 here also, with the weight of these cars extra gear is really needed to get them going.
I'd go 4.10 if i did it again.

I have 3.55's as it's the steepest gear I could legally run in my SCCA autoX class. I don't think I would want to go any steeper and still run it down the interstate at 80 mph comfortably. I might consider something higher if I was a drag racer, but I'm not. The 3.55 is also the perfect gear for my closest road course. If I went higher, I would run out of gear in 4th on our longest straight and 5th is worthless in our cars.

I <3 3.73's They are PERFECT. I think 4.10s with a 5-speed is way too much. The RPMs are Way too high for freeway speeds with 4.10s

i love my 3.73's, for drag racing ide go alot higher but since its my daily driver i think this is a perfect gear. I still get 20-22 mpg daily driving.

4:10s Auto.

How many of you have any sort of gear whine? I have a bit (not insanely loud, but noticeable).

3.90 on my 5 speed. I could not decide between the 373's or the 410's so I found one in the middle.
