Hi guys,
just reading a few topics the other day and I have noticed that some people are talking about how fast their car goes in what gear (eg 1st = 30Mph)
I've always wanted to try and get my Corsa (1.6 Sport) to 60Mph in 2nd gear however I don't like to rant the s**t out of it....!!!!
Has anyone got 60 in 2nd? my mate in his polo GTI can do it and I want to too!!!!!!!
I've also noticed that isn't it all something to do with setup (gear ratio) because I have messed around with my 934Bhp Skyline (Forza 2) and That did 200Mph in 1st gear.... yea 200Mph first gear...!!!!

it is to do with your gear ratios.i.e. a bigger box will make a higher speed in each gear.

speed in gears has nothing to do with how fast a car is

you will never get 60mph out of 2nd because you cant rev that high due to the rev limiter

I spose you are right... the most I've had outa my Sport was about 52 I think in 2nd - but my mate who owns a 205 1.4 Roland Garros says he can just get 60 out of it - however my sport is quicker....?

yeah, ie change from 2nd to 3r
at 7k rpm, the revs will only drop to about 5.5/6k and its straight back up there
