This is the point where stalled autos don't seem like such a bad thing. Punch the gas, flash the converter and check the rearview mirror because that is where your opponent will most likely be found

You picked the wrong gear but **** happens. I'm sure it's not a mistake you'll be making again. I give you props for coming here and being honest about a death.

Well I guess I should start goin in 2nd at 60....I guess you learn something new every day. Anyway I feel that I can drive my car perfectly fine.

www.f-body.org/gears to check RPM's

1st goes to ~50, 2nd to 75 and 3rd to 103 off the top of my head.

That's a cool link....according to that then 3rd gear at 60 is only 3500 rpms whereas 2nd gear would have been 4800...no wonder he lost! I wish that table went higher than 6000 though for those of us that shift higher than that.

For a v6 that 3.5 is pretty impressive. We had a maxima with that motor and after a bunch of research it was not worth modding (unless you went nitrous or forced induction). There is a night and day difference between your ls1 car and any of the 3.5 powered infinity/nissans. You either raced a well modded one or can't drive very well.
