Tell that to all the guys staring at my FTDI trophies. 8) For short
periods of time while autocrossing in 2nd gear the small drop off of torque
from 6000-7000 rpm is not nearly as bad as the drop off of rear wheel
torque caused by a shift into 3rd gear. That's a HUGE hit on
accelleration, not to mention a big problem for having to shift twice (up
and back down).
