Revival ....

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

But it will have to wait till tomorrow, going night-night in about an hour

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, 04:05 AM

3rd > 4th is THE best I swear

mishuko · 06-15-2015, 09:19 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, 09:29 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.........

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".

Uxi · 06-16-2015, 12:52 PM

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, 12:55 PM

4th gear pulls @ 13.5psi = pure bliss

mishuko · 06-16-2015, 03:04 PM

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

j/k...
