I'd like to add (even though I don't post a lot I do read a lot here)...

I know many of you are concerned (as am I) about gas mileage.

But, when I drove to Indy in 2000 (damn 8years ago!!) with a 6speed and 4.10 gears in my 97 Camaro SS i actually got 30mpg on my way out there from Maryland. A friend who was traveling in his 94 Z28 couldn't understand why his gas mileage was worst because he had 3.42's (he had a 6speed too) that all that up and downshifting killed his gas mileage where for me, the car stayed in 6th gear and I cruised....Just food for thought.

So when you see those numbers I am willing to bet there will be a few of us that WILL get even better then that with the right gear ratio.
