          Depends on how much speed I'm carrying at the time, it pulls like crazy in all of 'em

            2nd is when VRIS kicks open and sounds like VTEC. 3rd is when I'm staying in the VRIS threshold and pulling hard. 4th gear I've caught my prey...

                  Apart from the gear that gets me over 200MPh?

                  2nd & 3rd almost always have good pull on 'em.
                  Especialy in my bro's 4efte tercel, 3rd can go up to 140k, so it's good for smokin' ricers on the highways

                  ... God I can't wait to get my engine swapped!

                      i choose second. mainly cause my car cant beat you in a straight line so in the turns second gear is the best.

                      1st gear 0-28mph
                      2nd gear 28-60mph
                      5th gear 60+mph

                      also i love reverse.

                      who needs 3rd and 4th gear.
