"We still are missing the most important peice of info about your car - auto or stick??? Why was this not the first question asked? Come on guys, you are slipping!!!!
Regardless, gears will make a big difference in street driving fun and 0 to 60. I totally agree with you on that as a focus. I am not a 1/4 mile racer, so the only thing I care about is how fun the car is to drive (torque!!), and how quickly I can reach the street legal limits of speed (0 to 60). Plus decent handling is fun too."
Slipping!? Depends on the gear.. Just kidding. Yes, I totally agree with you and 5.0 and push the point further in that we need to realize that quarter miling and 0-60 are two completely different animals. You are talking slicks vs street tires and like you said the extra shift with the 4.10. If traction weren't an issue and Maximos is that good of a driver, then considering that, I would go with 3.90's based on what everone else has added. That's my final answer with no lifelines!
