Supposedly its the best bolt-on for a GT, so i'm sure you'll love them. I rode in a car with 3.73's and it pulled HARD. Can't wait to get my 4.10's

I kinda regret it, but that's just because I don't like the way the auto's transmission shifts. The gear's effect is wonderful.

I do, in a way, regret my 3:73s, not because they aren't good, but because I didn't get 4:10s.
I would have gotten 4:10s, but I drive at least 180 miles every weekend. With 4:10s and the highway, you'll be tacking around 2400rpm at 60mph if I remember correctly. I currently tack 2200rpm with 3:73s. It has some pretty nice acceleration now over stock 
Anyone have a spare convertible top switch? I need one, but they are freakin' $70 from Ford and the junk yards do not have any! That's more than I paid for my whole center console!

... only if your Mustang is a highway cruiser. Do you drive 200 miles on weekends? Do you spend most of your highway driving above 80 mph? If not, you'll like them.

the only possible regret to 4:10's would be if you like to cruise at high speed and don't like reving your car.
could easily be fixed with a viper t-56 though. ha ha. however that would not be the cheap way.
at is all about rpm and milage. if you don't mind cruising you car at 3k and the milage hit, you won't care one bit.
I drive alot of freeway so i bought 3.73's. this is not the right choice if just et is you only concern though. then I would have went 4.10's or even 4.30's.
current mods
accufab plenum, bbk 70mm tb,Borla cat back,VRS o/r X-pipe, diablo predator,3.73 gears, 31 spline axles and trac-lok,Hurst shifter, boyd magneato wheels, bfg kdw-2's, Flames, speedhut reverse glow gauges, H&R SS springs,MM cc plates, bilsteins,MM rear control arms, MM subframes
coming soon KB 9psi kit, t-56 swap

like everyone has said you will adjust to the powerband/shiftpoints crusing in the city and on stop and go( faster shifting according to the gear). if you are crusing at 80mph most of the day on the highway. you can and might regret.

Yep and on some drives I kinda wish I had 3.55's or even 3.27's. And for those 3-5 days a year I go to the track I wish I had 4.30's . but 4.10's seem the way to go if you are a weekend warrior and dont drive alot of highway.
