Run through 1st and 2nd... then what?

[L8apex]

I hit a ramp going to work that is about 1/2 mile long, between trees, and straight as an arrow. If I time it right I can enter it at 50mph winding 2nd, run through 3rd, and get back to 65 or so by the time I hang a right and enter the "Trooper Zone"

Even better it is just far enough from home to get the oil heated up nice.

Co-Workers can always tell when I drive the ZR-1 to work, nothing can wipe the grin off my face for the first hour or so.

Didn't need to ask me twice! As I was going up the on ramp back onto the highway what I thought taking me time my buddy looked over and asked me "do you know how fast you are going?" I said no and looked down to see I was doing over 80mph. I could not believe how easy it was to drive fast in ths car. I bought one a month later.

Maybe I should let you drive mine this year dave. Maybe you will get one again.

I wish sometime I could drive a Z with the stock gear set just to see what it is like. My car has the earlier 4:10 gears . I use 4th in the 1/4, and 6th on the highway.

I usually just put it into 5th gear after 2nd got to get a jump out onto the 4 lane I live off of everyone is usually doing 70 and its a 55 zone I have to keep my pratice up on my shifts

I have 4.56 gears in my '95, so I get to do all kinds of shifting. It definitely ups the fun factor in street driving big time.
