Default 410 Gear in Northern VA Area

Anyone with 410 gear in Northern Va (Chantilly) area wouldn't mind taking me for a ride- I'm looking at 410 gear as my next mod but wanted to check before taking the dive... I currently I have 08 with Z-51...

Planning on 1/4 mile trips? That's really low gearing.

i'm with the OP. would love to get a ride and get a feel for 4.10s in the 430hp coupes.

driving in NOVA is like driving the 1/4 mile. everywhere

anyway, i'm in Aldie now, but will travel anywhere to get a quick ride.

Just trying to feel the diff between my current z51 gear vs 410...
I did some search and they are some pros and cons on 410. Thus, wanted to see/feel it myself..

I will check around to see if someone is driving a 4.10 C6...but yes if you are looking for a noticeable difference that will do it. There is a group of us that drive 1990-95 ZR-1s (we are the Washington Area Z Owners Organization 'WAZOO' ) and a few have installed Viper 4.10 gears and driving from my stock ZR-1 to one of their setups... big diff in acceleration. I would say the same would transition from the ZR-1 to the C6
