Psch....... FO SHO. Hell I get a little over 40mpg in P which isn't park, but is Performance. So take that Prius.

:iagree: Shhhhh......... Don't tell anybody about the R-Mode. If you pass up 3k on the rmps in R-Mode you will get an extra 100hp plus 36mpg. ;)

2nd is great for smaller windier roads and the kick is almost as much as 1st but without being jerky if you aren't that careful. 1st can spin tires if yours are worn or if you have some mods. I think stock, the gearbox was designed very well because it seems like you are on the limit of spinning tires but it's all grip.

Its all grip because of the lack of torque lol. I would have to say second though because first is too short and I got the tires to chirp going into second

2nd!

Ummmm isn't it all grip because of tcs, vdc, and lsd? If I take vdc off all grip is definitely harder to attain in 1st.

Winding out third and shifting to fourth sounds like a good answer, but I just love second gear.

TerribleONE 06-27-2012 12:28 AM

I feel like I cant even remember anymore... however id say spinning the tires into 3rd and winding it out.. after the TTs im guessing 4th :driving:

Definitely 2nd. 1st feels so weak and short to me.

JARblue 06-27-2012 09:54 AM

I particularly enjoy making the downshift from 4th to 2nd in a turn and then roaring to 3rd :D

My Z/28 is a Hybrid...It burns both Oil and Gasoline:confused:

Also when I jump on it, the gauge goes to Full.......Then sadly it goes to empty when I let off.

The reserve red area starts with 4 gallons left :eek:. That way you have 24 to 37 miles to get to the Pits...

But the rush and the sound is Intoxicating...:eekdance:

wazup, bucket! :tup:

for me, 1st gear. that's about the only gear i can make my tires really spin. :p

i think my reverse would spin as well, but dont feel like going backwards in time.

Yo,Yo,Yo...

Yes, I like the lower gears.. Since speeding is Illegal, i like to get all my fun at lower speeds. Both cars..

If speeding was legal, I would probably love 7th Gear in the 370Z..

But for me, the lower gears are the most fun...
