1st is nice and fast, but it ends too soon. so I like second. tho 3rd is fun too

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

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.

I pondered posting this same subject earlier, basically about how nice 3rd gear is

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.
