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

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

1st to 2nd I think mainly because I get a nice "pop" when I shift around 3K

But I think due to SRM I just love to downshift whenever I can lol

Did you guys know you can take 90 degree turn in 6th and not downshift? I swear this 6 speed is amazing. Nothing like the old manuals (muscle cars from 60's and 70's)! Annnddd-it accelerates amazingly in 5th! Woo hoo! God i love this car!

1st and second end too quickly. I like 3rd because it pulls hard and gets you up to near 100mph quick

i also like 5th because it pulls good from 80ish and will take you past 150

Get some RE-11's (or better) and take out most of the rear negative camber and you'll be amazed at how much traction you get.

1st is still a bit useless but I stick pretty well in second. So for me it's 2nd and 3rd.

1st gear is useless on some roads for me. When it does hook, 1st and 2nd gear put a big smile on my face.

I don't have twin turbos but I do have 4.08 gears w/ RE-11's and adjusted rear alignment.

I like first gear from low speeds: top gear is always good for high speed (100 mph +)

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