3rd because getting to 60 is nice, but 60 mph just isnt fast to me.

Default gear
I have an AT but 3rd is my favorite gear because I rarely use full auto, I use manual mode 90% of the time and leave my AT in 3rd most of the time, just like I did all my MTs.

The gearing is soooo short in the Z, shorter than my old GSR... i'm into 3rd early... then plowing my way to 100, 3rd gear pulls hard... Then just as well 4th gear keeps pulling.

This is my order of preference, beginning with my favorite:

1. 3rd
2. 4th
3. 2nd
4. 1st
5. 5th
6. 6th
7. N
8. R

That's just in the Z of course. Every car is different.
