I think selecting rear end ratios depends on how you drive the car. I'm rebuilding a wrecked car and have done a ton of research in trying to select gears. The PO bought the car with 3.0's and said he felt like he could never get out of second gear while driving around town so he changed them out to 4.11's. Now I'm thinking he went the complete opposite extreme. While the axle was out I put 3.70 gears in. I have yet to drive the car so I cannot make any input on the change.

On another note I was talking to a Cobra owner at a car show and he when the other way. He had either 3.70's or 3.73's and when to a 3.0 for the sake of gas mileage.
My car and his both have 5 speed transmissions.
