hmm they're all pretty good, 5th sucks, 4th is okay going fast on back roads, 3 is sick to drop on the highway , and i like first because if i hold the rpm's just right (5K-5K) and let off and nail it i can get it to break the tires loose as it transitions to vtec oh and reverse SUCKS. seriously if my car rolls one inch it won't engage and is a pain in the ass. wish it was synchronized.

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao

5th is the only gear I don't like... I'm sure if I had more power I'd like it... but 3rd is definately my new favorite... it used to be 4th... but now if I'm doing like 40-60 on the highway and I drop to 3rd... it RIPS... it's fun...

Gotta turbo my car.

hmm... it depends....

1st gear - in parking lots, nice churp + whiplash

3rd gear - 50mph to redline (9k up to 85mph) MMMMMMMMM, OH and feeling vtec engage at 6k... NOW THAT IS A TURN ON

in the civic... 3rd WOT shifting into 4th.

Anyone else love the sound of WOT shifting? Jonda, you don't count.

2nd. i can fly around corners and it pulls like a mofo. i can always chrip in and out of 2nd gear and well... its most suited for the type of speeding i enjoy. 3rd gear im doin 65+ to really have a decent amount of power then its mostly strait line and thats.... no fun
