Re: 4.30's or 4.10

What I meant by that was that I would not like to pay the price of running out of gear with 4.30s once 4th ended at 120. As mentioned earlier in this thread, 5th is not just another gear. Once you hit it you don't accelerate the same. I had a great time on the Las Vegas freeway a week ago, 3rd being perfect at freeway speeds - it seemed right on my power band. Maybe 4.30s would still be better, but I've heard you run out and need to be in 4rth by that speed and that's right where the advantage switches to 3.55s

Yeah. I am just going off of what I have read here, so I probably still have a lot to learn

If 5th was a different ratio, it might be a different story.
