Why 3.91/4.10 Gears make the best short term expressway gears!

With a 4 speed and 3:91's/ 4:10's, now we're talkin.
Feel, control, and neck snapping performance, you've got it all there.
And you can boil the hides off at will.
And a lotta smiles per gallon.
That's what it's all about!
Unless you are driving over 200 miles, then it gets old fast.

Yep, I was driving my old beater--92 olds with a tall 3rd gear--on the freeway around 75mph--it feels fast in that junk car, lol A large flock of black birds came around and one birdie sat down on the pavement, my foot went off the gas but car didn't slow down enough and the car hit the birdie as it was flying off.

No biggie--that time but it would had been avoided if the car would had started slowing down as soon as the gas was let off.
