As in NONE (usable anyway)

3rd is the lowest I ever drop too and I do it often. I wouldn't drop to 2nd unless I was < 30mph.

At least the Icy Hot StuntaZ we're doing it as a joke. Lee Hotti is for real.

you know, the video on youtube where they raced the 370z with the cayman, boxster, z4, and exige, the japanese race driver only used 3rd and 4th gears (the digital readout showed which gear he used)

he never used 1, 2, 5, and 6 for the entire race.

Try it and lets us know if you start to see transmission parts or carbon-fiber drive-shaft splinters trail behind the car in your rear view mirror....

good feedback *^^* thanks for the estimated chart.....

thank God i did not down-shift to 2nd gear the other day when i was going 60+.......

i just passed 1200 miles, so i would like to see what the car is capable of........

with my s2k, going to 2nd gear was no problem....... but Z is a different beast.....
