For all those people with manual vehicles... Which gear is your favourite?

Al · Post by Al » Mon Jul 05, 2004 11:16 pm

3rd. Cos the speedo goes up faster than the rev counter

3rd, its the asthetically pleasing one.

Goes in time with the RPM and boosts best at legal speeds through town

since the last poll wen i had an auto and i said 2nd, i haf to agree with the majority now and say that 3rd gear is the best.

or sixth, when im in a car that way inclined...

hasn't this poll been done ages ago???

Yeah 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?

2nd is what makes me horny!
You have heaps of power on normal roads without going over your max HP @ RPM rating!

Its either 2nd or 3rd for having fun the wet depending on how tight the corners are. Go the rwd volvo!

3rd of course, speedo is faster than rev counter and it makes the tyres fry good too

u forgot reverse gear

that can be a fun gear to use too u know ....

OMG so shiny! · Post by **Dell'Orto** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:37 pm

3rd gear definately, perfect gear to drop into when you want to really obliterate that wanker ahead of you who's been doing 80k til they hit the passing lane then speed up to 120 :evil:

particularly when you have an EBC within easy reach...
