Default Guys with 4.10 gears

When racing, do you hit 5th gear at all? I have to shutdown at 110 everytime because thats what my 4th gear tops out at. With my 3.42's i used to shut down at approx ~125ish..Anybody hit 5th? I feel like the car becomes a roach once you hit 5th

With stock height tires & factory rev limit (6200), 4.10 gears are good for 116-117mph in 4th gear.

why don't you hit fifth? You just have to be a good driver. Get enough HP and the stock gears should just be just peachy! lol This probbly would of been better posted in the Manual section.
