This one is just out of curiosity but how does a mustang with 4.10's compare to a car with tons of torque like... oh say, a viper? I'm not talking about racing or times or whatever, but the actual feel when taking off and shifting into second gear, is it just as easy to spin the tires on a viper? Is the feel of the multiplied torque the same?

well, the best i can do is...

my car has 4.30s and exaust, and with the auto, it will roast the tires all the way through first, and get a good squeal into second and third..

and considering i have the piss slow 96, you should like it lol

I guess with 4.10 you feel you are moving like in a viper, but in fact you're not...

A new gear will make your car feel like a 500 hp race car. I took a Z06 vette 1st and 2nd then shifted into third and he was gone

The vette probably didn't want to waste gas...
