I think your making a big mistake going with 4.10's, your car is only going to be good until 130 mph or so, which isn't a big deal because how fast do we usually drive? But... your not going to get crap for traction unless you do some suspension work, or get sticky tires, plus your gas mileage is going to suffer like crazy. I'm not sure how much money you have to spend, but even now that I'm 18 and work 30-35 hours a week, plus highschool. Gas mileage on a daily driver is one of my main concerns. I would get Posi and do 3.73's, if you have 4.10's, keep them and throw them on later.

well for one there have been many other people telling me that those arent bery big issues, other than traction which im pretty sure ill have a few issues with that but its an m6 and ive always heard that with m6's go with 4.10's a4's go with 3.73's and really im not street racing and when i go to the track ill definitely have some drag radials or something specific. And the entire money thing, i cant afford to buy 3.73's and then go 4.10's later on, thats an extra 500 or so, not cheap at all. Also as far as suspension, thats going to be the main thing i do since 4.10's and exhaust are the only power adders (not really the gears but you get the idea). Im going to do most suspension upgrades and im going to powdercoat a bunch of engine stuff, but as far as power, ill be pleased with the 4.10's and exhaust
