From 1st to 3rd, who needs 2nd?
 

I've had my '08 GT 6-speed for a couple of weeks now and what I've come to realize is that the 2nd gear in this tranny is a waste. The car shifts / performs better going from 1st to 3rd and skipping 2nd. Second gear is an odd one, it's like once I shift into it I have to shift right back out due to the higher rpms it jumps up to so fast. So now, I don't even bother. I run 1st gear to about 3500rpm and then right into 3rd.

Still, I guarentee that you are faster using second gear. Although, it may not feel that way.

Not bad if your racing the gas gauge and not the car next to you.

most def.

I have no doubt it's faster using 2nd if racing, but for normal around the town driving it just seems easier.

A lot of people do that actually.
