K guys i got a question for you 2gnt manuels out there. do you guys have a weak first, and a lot stronger 2nd gear. cuz whenever i race, it will be dead even or the other car might even start gaining on me, but once i hit 2nd, i peel out and GOODBYE!! well thats when i win. when i raced a v6 tibouron, he got about a half car length on me while i was in first and i thought he was gonna just womp me at the rate he was gaining on me, but when i hit second he completly stopped gaining on me and we were dead even. and today i raced an alero, and he started to gain on me in first, maybe a half a car length, then i hit second, peeld out, and owned. so just wondering if you noticed the same thing with your cars or not
thanks
 
97 RS standard -- stock
yes, exactly how my car drives too. I think its just how it is :thumb: atleast it gives those other racers a little bit of time in the beginning to think they might actually have a chance :laugh:
 
That is what happened to me.
You are not alone.

That is how i beat and old Mercury Grand Marquis (92-94).
He was in a hurry, he was taking off in almost all the signal lights(at 2:00 am). But by one of them i got so piss and i went for it. I remember that he took off first that i did. But, by the time i hit second i flew. """He started to slow down and he learned the lession of not being in a hurry in all the signal lights"""".

Poor guy he just wanted to be at home early.

The second gear is a nice Ace under our Hand.

Tito. :thumb:
 
haha or gives them time to prepare there victory speech! LOL but yea its nice when you got some chicks in your car, weighing the goddamn thing down, and you heroically come back from behind and win(there usually not as impressed as i am) :laugh: :cool:
