I'm torn between 2nd and 3rd! 2nd's pretty good for the pick up and then 3rd is good for cruising round town, coz the power is still there to accelerate if needed! :wink:

Ofcourse my car isn't all that powerful, but good enough for me for now! 8)

This question is missleading for me it is 2nd but thats probably cause I have a 4 speed auto it would be different for a 5 speeder and different again for a sixer oh well 2nd is all good for four wheel drifts and when you come up behind a slow car drop it to second hit the redline and you are past in a flash, go the second :lol:

3rd, 1st and 2nd run out too quick and there is still plenty of v6 pull left in 3rd :D

i have evidence that 2nd gear would be my fav...compare my front tires to my back ones...hehe....boost and drift, a match made in heaven!

3rd gear would rate up there tho, for its pure "push-u-back-in-ya-seat" thrill

once i get used to my car tho and handling high speed drifts, etc, 3rd will prolly be my fav :D

i'da have to say third cause even though it's an auto, it pulls bloody nicely past worked evo 6.5's on the open road, even when they get a jump on the fact that i wait till i see the fuel dump of them nailing it before i plant it, still caught hte bugger and passed him with ease. then he ran back to his mate in the white rx-7. haven't seen much of him since really..... :?

my fav would have to be 2nd.........straight out of 1st at 8k rpm striaght into 2nd and hold on upto the open road speed limit 8) can't afford to get caught flooring it in 3rd so thats no good :P rules that gear out :evil:

3rd is good for around town tho like SilverAngel said, instant acceleration :lol:

I'd have to say third, or maybe second at high rpm round corners :twisted:

even tho third in the mighty dx isn't that impressive........... :cry:

depends on the situation but 4th is a good gear and so is 6th 8) 3rd if I'm a rally driver.
