I wouldn't do it regularly because of clutch wear but the big ole LS3 has so much torque it doesn't care much be it 1st, 2nd or 3rd from a start. I've done 2nd to try it and from 3rd by mistake (thought I was in 1st). Just had to fan the throttle a bit and ride out the clutch a smidge more than normal. I go 1st, 2nd, then 4th and 6th or 3rd then 5th all the time. So I guess I'm my own skip shift in the higher gears

Here is an interesting thought 0 - 110 mph using only 3rd gear! Hmmm?
