Message	of Z owners. Since most probably don't take their cars much above 140-160 (as seen in most of the snapshots below) the difference in top speed is much less significant IN MY EYES, than it would be if it fell into that range. It does however matter to me, and I will probably be more likely consider the 4.10 gears once I have kids of my own as pointed out above. Apparently, I'm still too young and immature for them, and for now I am OK with that. m a g l i t o parts are FINALLY here - engine is going back together NOW sig photo by me effects by ZXRider(SoCal) click here for latest build update post
