That's why we fight the good fight!

I'm actually surprised there aren't any first gear dorifto fans yet, I expected some of those.

rob gear.

Second feels best when you punch it but third accelerates over a broader range.. I voted 3rd

[Best_name_available]

Second gear. Short enough for rapid acceleration, tall enough to almost reach 100km/h.

I suppose the poll can be E30-focused, but what about other cars you guys (and girls?) drive? I think I'd still say third in the Cortina, but maybe second gear in one of the Ginettas. Sig pic is 6,500rpm in third btw :nice:

I also think I might have voted second gear for our old iX because it wasn't quite as spirited as my car is.

2nd for me. I think i can just tag 60mph at 7500. Will easily be able to do that at 8k.

[LJ851]

Turd gear for sure.

[Hooffenstein HD]

Second gear. Short enough for rapid acceleration, tall enough to almost reach 100km/h.

It's also dependant on driving situation though. If I was thrashing around the hills it would be in third 80% of the time.

2nd here, will probably change with M20 ITB upgrade when im not poor, but as is in 2nd gear M20 feels tite.

[lambo]

3rd

[ST1G]

3rd for the same reason. Might change after the s52 swap is in.
