2nd gear seems to pull the hardest for me, but I'm still breaking mine in, so I'm not really pushing any gear too far. As someone else mentioned already, the pull in second gear is so hard that it feels like the front tires are lifting off. Love it!

I like 4.10s because they give me a little more low end grunt off the line.

My v6 is more then enough for me i went from driving an 80 hp sentra to a car thats as fast or faster then my dads 70's vett. I would like a zl1 or atleast an ss one day but for now v6 is fine.

(My dad was pissed when he found that out. He said he prolly wouldn't let me get it if he knew LOL.)

I have the V6 with all the mods below and I love 3rd gear. Seems I will accelerate faster (if I'm already above 65) than 2nd will in a 0-60 run.

For me it's 2nd, 99% of the roads I travel are 45 mph. I get a kick out of passing slower traffic doing 10 under in second, and running it up to 20-25 over. I love the way the back tires light up doing 35-40 mph, and the sound that kicks from my FlowMasters.

But, I'm gonna say second. It's always given me the best 'Pressed back in the seat' feeling because there is less traction problems with the most acceleration per second on the street.

Roots blower has MUCH to do with my opinion on this.



Oh, and LMAO @ LS3AlexSS. I was about to pounce on that and ask why the hell you bought it. hahaha

LMAO... LS3AlexSS, I got your back...

I like the gear that makes this guy crap his pants in my car(as long as he cleans it up) which is pretty much any gear... he didn't seem to be a big fan of looking out the passenger window as the direction we were traveling at 80....

oh, and it's any gear but 6th... 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th the tires can be broken loose with just throttle at speeds up to 110, and 5th I can smoke em with use of the clutch...
