is it ok to shift into 2nd gear while going 60+mph?

lol sorry

This happens when the questions aren't taken seriously.

You ask if its ok to shift into second at 60+. Or in other words, would you start a 60-roll in second or third for a race?

The answer is don't do that. The reason is that you will have to shift into third immediately. You will waste time shifting where you could have been accelerating and that will cost you more speed than what you gained by starting the race in second. 3rd gear at 60+ puts you somewhere in the 4500RPM i think and that should be OK as far as the power band, however I think you're better off asking for a 40-roll and starting in second.

I think the reason why your thread was derailed is because we don't like street racing around here and there is hardly any other application to your question.

i am pretty sure an AT 370z would accelerate much faster than a manual 370z at 60 mph stuck in 2nd gear

WTF is going on, who is buying these cars? These cars are great but there appears to me at least, to be some kind of retard buying these cars too that is sullying its reputation. Maybe Nissan needs to up the price and include a few extra items on the car, maybe that will keep the "undesirable" element away.

Is it ok to shift into 2nd when doing 60mp/h and above,......huh try it and see.
