Should have gone with the 4.77's, then you'll feel the difference

4.77S Are the best for the ap1

Impressive! I need to find a stretch of road around here that's long, straight, and unoccupied enough for a little run after the SC/AC is installed.

If you want to feel the car go fast, then 4.77s are best. If you want the most performance, get the 4.57s. They top out 4th right as you cross the line in the 1/4 and they aren't geared too short for most road courses. And And they're not too short for all the autox I've done so far in 2nd gear. I've heard of 4.77s redlining too early on some longer straightaways...

I love having gears. I feel it is the best bang for the buck in the S.

I just got mine from SOS like 1 second ago (literally, I'm at my desk at work and someone just dropped it off).

The told me they had 1 set left when I ordered mine on Friday. If you just ordered yours, I wonder if they had more than 1 set and lied to me OR they sold the same set twice and you haven't yet realized you got screwed??

I'd give them a call.

4.77 = no no for motorway driving, best for performance

4.57 = good for motorway and performance best of both worlds

4.44 = not that much of a performance increase.

Can anyone give the 0-60 acceleration with each gear, and the top speed for each?
