XR6 (T) Gears

[aniken]

Thought this might be interesting. So, which is it:

First - the full g-force, throw you back in your seat, punch you in the guts, explosive power

Second - just when the ricers think they have you, chuck it down and bye bye birdy

Third - all the power you want, on tap, plus that lovely rumbly grumbly sound you get when the foot goes down

Fourth - what you need to get you to top speed

Fifth - ??? (give me a break, I have an auto)

I pick third

Mate, you forget the most important gear for us T5 drivers, the ANTICIPATION gear ,"neutral ", cause this is where it all begins!!

Loud Pedal to the floor, that's my boy !!

All the best , timmy.

Personally prefer 2nd....for exactly the same reason you give....plus 2nd is good for anything from 0 to 100kmh.

I picked 1st. I love the quick take offs. And I love to turn off traction control and give it a few revs when I do U turns (if you know what I mean )

I would have picked 2nd too if you could pick two. I love it when driving along sedately and just slip it into 2nd and plant the accelerator. :D

BTW, I have a manual. This thread's gotten me all excited... bring on the weekend.

I like them all, although 5th seems useless in the manual though. But I picked 1st gear in the poll.. Why?, because this is the gear that most passengers say "F**K ME DEAD" etc.

1st and 3rd.

1st cause it throws you back in the seat, 3rd cause it's good for 210, happy cruising speed on private roads ofcourse

Haven't hit the rev limiter yet cause 4th is so damn sluggish...

[Trumpy]

I voted for 2nd.

Simply because I have already made the slow change from 1st, and can now punch it and enjoy the afterburners. Good for most traffic light GPs.

2nd!

With enough RPM at takeoff, 1st only lasts a heartbeat or 2.

2nd, one the other hand, is enough to leave almost anything else on the road behind.

I picked second because my passengers are holding on after first and just when they think it is over second kicks in and blow them completely away.
