Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 12:22 am3rd, its the asthetically pleasing one.
Goes in time with the RPM and boosts best at legal speeds through town

Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 2:52 pmWell third gear would have to be my favourite.....just for skids 
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 3:55 pmMost power in 1st 
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 4:56 pmhasn't this poll been done ages ago??? 
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 6:01 pmYeah it was done ages ago, read it the other night.
I like fourth, wen my engine was going and I took all the seats out(cos was changing carpet) it went good(as good as a "I'll hang on for another week but then i'm gonna drop my guts" 2litre carbed engine can) in fourth from 80-120 for overtaking. Third is good too and can be held till 135 but it doesn't feel the same as fourth gear.
My $6.99 worth.
If you have one chicken too many, how many do you have?????? aye?

You have heaps of power on normal roads without going over your max HP @ RPM rating!
