Why don't people do gears in Cobras?

[QUOTE="WDW MKR, post: 2168816, member: 8038"] You're completely correct with the calcs... seems the Friday morning f'ups had me considering a 5mpg total mileage vs. 5mpg change in mileage. Even still, that's a good savings. Most Cobras seem to average about 15-18mpg with mixed driving. Use a number of 16.5mpg and subtract the aforementioned 5mpg difference. That puts you at 11.5mpg and tosses over $900 out the window. I don't think you'll lose 5mpg by going to 4.10 gears, but it's probably not far off given it'll have a great effect on city mileage. Either way, I never said the 4.10s are a bad idea. I simply said that anyone stating their [i]opinion[/i] as [i]fact[/i] is going about it the wrong way. Someone telling me they think 2700rpm is a good cruising range doesn't make it a fact. Pick your gear and be happy with it. I agree that anyone without gear experience should refrain from denying their benefits. However, it is still my warranted [i]opinion[/i] that 4.10 gears are too much for me on the street and the mileage savings are worth it. [/QUOTE]
