Nothing like blasting past a 6 car rolling road block.5th and 6th- granny gear or hi speed hero, take your pick My fav 3rd closely followed by 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The torque is always there, and the speed builds up very high and very quickly.Like others have said, it takes no time at all to see the speedo needle in excess of 160 kph.... (about the time it takes to cover the distance of a semi on the highway )tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I love 3rd gear if I am already in it, and some one tries to get past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
