It's interesting that you find 3rd gear somewhat doggy. If anything, I kinda thought this car was a slow on the draw. In my car, I call 3rd the "Magic Gear". There are some back country roads that I can fly down and almost never take it out of third. It pulls hard at low speed... pulls even harder between 45-65 mph. I LOVE 3rd GEAR. Hmmmmm. I guess they're all a little different.

well i mean it doesent pull quite as hard as 1st and 2nd. i hit 60 in like 5-6 seconds from 1st to 2nd cuz my friends beamer hits in in about 6.5 and u raped him till about 80. when im racing i wrapp the 1st 2nd out to about 5100 and then i shift 3rd at about 4800 and yes it pulls very hard at low speed like around 45 mph. but after i raped my friends beamer, when i hit 3rd, and he hit 3rd, ge caught up very quickly

It's got a few tricks up it's sleeve... but nothing crazy.
