Revival ....

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

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

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

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".

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
