Default Chicagoland....Any M6s w 410s & stock cam willing to meet up?

I'd like to see what kind of difference 4.10s will make in a bolt on only car. I've driven plenty of 4.10 geared cars but they were all cammed, with the "smallest" being an F13.

Trying to decide between 3.73s or 4.10s........I run 555R's and want the better gear for hard launches on the street, don't care for the track. It seems 4.10s have the bigger fun factor, but many complain that 1st and 2nd is useless on the street. Will a well-controlled launch on 4.10s still move out better than any other gear, assuming all the factors remain the same? I'm on the NW side of Chicago near Harlem & Higgins (near O'hare, for those who don't know), if anyone's willing to offer up a ride, please let me know......

-Jon

4.10 in an auto SUCKS if it's your daily driver.

3.73 is the biggest anyone should go for a daily driven A4 (that's if you have any sense in your head.)

I have 4.10 in my six speed. I would offer a ride but I'm out of country right now. I love them though. Some noise because I am running Richmonds but other than that love them. First and second aren't too bad. You don't have to use 1st but I still do.
