I find myself enjoying 2nd gear more especially when driving on the streets
Fernando, you don't feel like the car wants to "get out" of second as fast as it can? I'm new at this, but I definitely like 3rd better than 2nd even at low mph, and I would agree that 4th/5th gear are equally enjoyable and back-to-the-seat inducing.

Absolutely but what I like is that I can take it all the way to redline and feel the car pushing all the way through it's RPM range. With 3rd I have to let up towards the end because of the speed I'm carrying.
But you are right, 2nd gear blows by pretty quickly so the fun doesn't last quite as long as 3rd gear does.
Ferd....I did a DE at Road America....4 miles of fun with 2 very long straights. On the front straight I was in 4th about 128 MPH and more road to go and went to 5th. Holy geebus! The car went to a different level and I got hypnotized watching the speedo. 131, 135, 139 and than a quick brake and downshift to make the turn. Just WOW! I have to agree with you.
