3rd, its the asthetically pleasing one.

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

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?

You have heaps of power on normal roads without going over your max HP @ RPM rating!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

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...
