Why would you want to do this? Achieve the slowest corner exit speed possible?

Revival ....

I have now decided I just like shifting the gears. In the dark. Watching the headlights. Road. Accelerate. Horizon. Shift. Road. Accelerate. Horizon. :driving::icon17:

no it could still be park. perhaps s/he snapped a picture when they started the car (ie the part when all the needles in the gauges go to the other side) lol

Downshifting to 3rd around 70mph

louiey370z 06-15-2015 03:05 AM

3rd > 4th is THE best I swear

mishuko 06-15-2015 08:19 AM

the 1-2-3 gears when i am going back onto the highway from a on-route gas station.

you can (legally) redline 1st-2nd and get up over 6k rpm in third... mmmm tasty!


2nd gear is my favourite though

MagmaRed370z 06-15-2015 08:29 AM

2nd for sure. I gently hit 3.5K RPM and then punch it all the way to redline. The Best!

Technically, you get the worst gas mileage in park.........

Exhaust 06-15-2015 09:36 PM

There is absolutely nothing like experiencing this engine at high rpms in 3rd to 4th. That climb is magical and the pull always answers my questions of "why I did I buy this car".:happydance:

Uxi 06-16-2015 11:52 AM

Probably 3rd. 2nd is very nice. followed closely by 4th. I love cruising 6th gear on the freeway, too.

so...

3, 2, 4, 6, 5, 1

TerribleONE 06-16-2015 11:55 AM

4th gear pulls @ 13.5psi = pure bliss

mishuko 06-16-2015 02:04 PM

i take it all back... neutral and revving at stop lights because i'm cool like that.

j/k...

jpkirk 06-16-2015 03:07 PM

Yup, 2nd. The Autox gear.

Nick216 06-16-2015 03:22 PM

2nd so i can roll through stop signs and punch it haha

Uxi 06-16-2015 03:28 PM

On further reflection 3-4 shift is bomb diggity fav. I also love 5th gear. I love them all lol. I'll stand by my earlier post, but 3-4 shift is the best.

onzedge 06-16-2015 06:28 PM

3rd

Fuzzzy 06-16-2015 06:44 PM

Sorry kids and you hoity-toity grown-ups, but the Beach Boys laid first claim!

"Little Honda"

I'm gonna wake you up early
Cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop
I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt
I'll take you anywhere you want me to

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (faster faster) :driving:
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (faster faster) :driving::driving:
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (faster faster)
:driving::driving::driving:Faster it's alright

onzedge 06-16-2015 06:45 PM

2nd

jpkirk 06-17-2015 09:09 AM

Onz downshifted! SRM is cool.

confucius 06-17-2015 05:29 PM

For me, there is nothing like rolling along at a good highway speed, moving into the left lane upon traffic, and getting held up for no good reason from the stroke there, dropping it down from 6th to 4th for a couple of secs waiting for the putz to shift right; then hammering it to the make a pass around a slower left-laner that won't/can't/doesn't move over when traffic clearly indicts he should/could, and just watching for that red blinking light in the middle of the tach. True sweet spot there.
