I love seeing people do freeway punches...I just hope they enjoy seeing me do it too

Hope I haven't given some granny a heart attack yet when them duels open up.

Definitely 3rd at 60mph. Just rev the gas up to about 4k before you let the clutch out so it doesn't shock the rearend and make it jerk and you're good to go.

Even better is 2nd at around 40-45. 2nd at 3500-4000k RPMs=WIN. I don't even know what 1st feels like anymore because of traction issues.
