The idea in spirited driving is that you would rarely ever downshift into 1st
So make the transition easier throughout the rest of the gears. |
Correct once I get moving I never have to use 1st gear. In fact my GT replica has enough low down torque to pull off from the lights in 2nd, so I rarely use 1st unless doing a hill start, trying to blow some one off at the lights or starting on the race track.

I agree with not using 1st gear much. Especially here on the Canadian prairies. I just point and go. There are not too many turns on our highways.
Thanks for the advise on the turn signal. You all just saved me a lot of time. |
