Believe me I loved my 4.10s for around town and for the here and there trip to the drag. As soon as I got into road racing (I guess I needed more than 11 seconds of fun) I quickly found out the 4.10s were way too much gear.
Shifting was a big issue. This week I went to Limerock and was very happy only needing to use 3rd and 4th gears when in the past I used 3rd - 5th.

For those with a Z06 otherwise have installed an MN12, it is my understanding and experience that the rpm's in the MN12 are the same as have a 3.90 rearend. RPM installed an MN12 in my A4 and this is the case in mine.

Just had 4.10 put in last Friday in my 99 FRC 333hp 336torque rw stock
A must do for anyone that just drives their car around the streets comes realy close to matching the Z06 gearing. Get a good 4 wheel alienment though and have it drag racing aliened so you get some traction at the rear or you will slide all over the road. My friend with a SC Viper GTS 565hp rw said if he wouldn't have done the SC he would have done the gears after driving my car. VERY low cost mod for what you get out of your car with 4.10's All non Z06 6 speeds have the same trans gears as the Viper so hear is what gears will do for you...http://www.viperclub.org/faq/techgears.html
