lol this is interesting. I think its kinda funny, talk about tall gears, i dont think i would ever do it though because id like my cars engine to last me through college, well the whole car actually. I do get on the car sometimes and that 2.41 feels best at 85-90 on the interstate going through Atlanta manuvering through traffic.

it would be better get going about 65mph in 3rd and then snatch it down to 1st while simultaneasly flooring the throttle! then it wont take so long to get 75 mph, once you get use to driving your car like that then you can graduate up, running up it to 50 mph or so in reverse and spinnig it around and going forward with out loosing any speed, and snatch it back to low and run it up to 76mph again, your car will love it you will love it, if you film it we will love it! happy thanksgiving

There's nothing like idling in drive at about 80 mph, cruisin down the freeway, with all that power available just by dropping into 2nd. Exhaust just at that vibration stage, engine running at 180 degrees. That has got to be easy on the engine, and doesn't feel like it burns much gas, even though you can see the needle moving.
