Guys, I just got more confused, i see ppl supporting the 3.73, while others
going with the 4.10. I'm kinda crazy when driving and drive often over 75
mph. by the way, what's the stock in 2000 Gt, coz that might help me
choose. thnx

If you're kinda crazy when driving then get whatever you want, but stay the
**** away from me.

Mine is pretty close to that too Mike...

As our poster can see there are MANY different opinions on this subject. He
will just have to choose what he thinks is best for his own application.

I like my 3:73's, if I had it to do over again, I would do the same thing.
They have enough torque to send me sideways in second gear, and that's
enough for me.

See, I like top end too, so I went with the 3.73s.
Off the mark 4.10s may be more beneficial for 1/4 mile runs, but to ME I
like to hit 100+, and I like to do it as often as I can get away with it.
Again, your mileage may differ But this is the primary reason I chose the
gears I have.

Get 3.73s for a manual and 3.55 for an auto.
