Just one of those weird things I thought of while driving...
NSXSAN said:1st gear. Love to hear the engine, then chirp the tires and going sideway a little bit shifting to second on good surfaces.
Vytas said:I have the stock gear setup and absolutely love 4th gear accelerating from 70-80mph. Do this over and over. The engine note at this range is just heavenly.
supergreen125 said:i like second gear but only when downshifting.
when i race on the freeway i always slow down to about 60 and slam it into second!!
NetViper said:My car doesn't do that... Of course I have TCS on... Is your car stock?
NSXSAN said:Turn off the TCS. Lighten up your vehicle, and with a good clutch, you can almost trip your tires at will.
nsxtasy said:I feel sorry for poor, lonely first gear, with no votes. Unloved and unwanted - but necessary to get to all the other ones.

That's a myth. People think there is better acceleration at higher revs because the engine is louder, but acceleration isn't all that different throughout the revband. 90 percent of peak torque is available from 2500 to 7500 RPM:NetViper said:With all the other gears, a redline shift takes you right into the powerband (mostly)... but first takes a while to get there..
