Default 3.27 - 4.10 Gearing ???

question....

Seems as though everyone agrees that if your gonna do gears then dont waste time with anything numberically less than 4.10's

The question is this...

My '02 GT is bone stock, and 1st gear only last a couple seconds as it is. With 3.27 (stock) gears I believe.

So.. um.. with 4.10's do you not even use 1st gear or what??

I couldnt imagine having an even lower 1st or 2nd gear, doesnt that render them unusable?

seems like changing out 3rd 4th & 5th to a lower ratio (numerically higher) might be a better option. No?
It's a cost thing, I know that... rebuilding a tranny is way more expensive than gearing a rearend. But if someone has the money, why not?

Opinions???
