WARP TEN · 05-23-2015

I put 4.10s in my 93 early on and enjoyed them for many years. When I got the 95 in 2012 it was the first modification I had Marc do. ZR-1s are not torque monsters and the lower gears do help on around town driving and general acceleration, with their 18% torque multiplication increase over 3.45s. If you drag race a lot, many think the 3.45s are best because you don't have to shift into 4th. As Paul W noted, nor do you have to shift into 5th in the half mile as I did. But I only race maybe once every year or two and mostly drive around town so I am happy with the 4.10s. --Bob
