Besides being better for the engine, staying in 1st gear driving up deck levels in a parking garage offers the added benefit of allowing me to listen to the great sounds my EPII Loud makes when the engine RPM is above ~3000.

 

I use 1st gear when it's required

 

I downshift into first sometimes while coming to a stop. Normally i find myself in it driving around a parking lot... pretty much it's like any other manual car, and I treat it as such.

 

In other words, the alarms of 50% of the cars around you are going off?

First gear is also required for most of the tire smoking 360s. Unless of course you have a really large space for 2nd gear.

 

Haven't experienced that.

 

I have, and do at work, although not 50%, lol.

 

What exhaust do you have on your 996 Turbo?

 

Sorry, not a turbo, just a C2, but it is a Fabspeed.
