Default Comparison......

Was told by a guy today who does ring & pinion setups: "F-Body 10 bolts are like small-breasted women---really not that much fun to play with". Kinda hits the nail right on the head, no? WJ

Sounds about right

I don't even do gear swaps in them anymore since I know they are destined to

Hmmmm!

I heard from a real good, old, ring & pinion set-up guy: "That aftermarket F-body 12 bolts are like female Hollywood celebrities with implants, they are fun to look at, and very expensive, but truth be known more than a mouthful is just a plain old waste!"

10-Bolt gear swaps are not fun. They are hit or miss. We normally charge $300 installed for them but sometimes they are very time consuming.

I dunno, small ******* are nice, depending on the size of the woman they are on, but then again like BDiddy said,

Thumbs up

I happen to like small breasted women and 10 bolts as well, genarally lighter than a 12 bolt, less 'power robbing' and cheaper (until you have to fix them constantly ) but then again I have a low power automatic so it's all good.
