Alright tough guy, first you state:

But IMO I can tell you that the 4.57R is perfect for street driving.
Then you say:

And what kind of analogy is comparing gears with sleeping with different sex. I don't know about you but I never slept with a man. I guess you had since you said you have to try both. No homo. Keep it to yourself.
Why don't you try reading what I said and then respond correctly? I never stated that you stated that 4.57 was better than 4.77. You stated that your opinion is that 4.57 is perfect for street driving. My question to you is, how the hell can say that 4.57 is perfect for street driving when that is the only aftermarket gear set you have driven?

My analogy works, and nowhere insinuates that you are gay. NOWHERE. I said your statement was like saying "That's like saying you've never slept with a woman but you can tell us that sleeping with men is perfect." because that is how ridiculous your statement was. Your statement doesn't work anyway, because if you've slept with a woman you have the chance to have anal sex, which would be the same with a guy. In summary, you can have vaginal OR anal sex with a girl. However, if you were to say that sex with a guy is the best, you are wrong because you've never tried vaginal sex if you've ONLY been with a guy. See my point? I never stated that I've been with a guy, only that I've been with a woman. And yes, yes I've tried both insertion points on a woman, and nothing with a man. I've tried both so I can give my opinion on which is better. You cannot, only that you like what you currently have. Your assumptions are fallacious at best.

You can give your opinion on one but you have to try BOTH if you're going to say which is BETTER in your opinion.

There you go. Contradicting yourself. You forgot that I said IMO = IN MY OPINION. Which works perfect for me and may not for everybody else. I'll say it again. Perfect street driving for me. And again IN MY OPINION.

Again no homo. This is a car forum not a sex forum. Nobody wants to hear your adventures with Ms. A and/or Mr. B. Well maybe some.

And thanks I am a tough guy but nowhere here am I trying to be tough. Lets give it a rest. Or pm me if you want to go further. Otherwise give it a rest

I didn't contradict myself. There is nothing wrong with giving an opinion about something. I also mentioned that there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion. But you went ahead and said something was perfect when you have never tried something else. How can you think something is perfect for the job when you've only done something one way? I mean, that's a little close-minded isn't it?

...which is why I brought in the humorous sexual analogy into it. I thought it was funny, and you came back with an aggressive rebuttle. I think you're the one that needs to calm down, and not be so homophobic

wow....this thread has de-railed...


but back on topic: how much to the rpms change when you switch gearing to 4.57 or 4.77?

i'm thinking highway cruising rpms, gas mileage, etc...

If you take frequent or semi-frequent trips over 50 - 100 miles I would definately go with the 4.57's. The extra rpm the 4.57's generate at highway speeds is annoying enough and it would be even worse with the 4.77's. For around town though with infrequent highway trips go with the 4.77's. IMHO.
