pschnei3 · 10-09-2008, 11:16 AM

going to the track friday and was wondering how many people hit 4th gear?
first time i went i just redlined in 3rd(best time was 13.79).

Fairly simple:
3rd = stock
4th = tuned

If you are trapping much more than 100mph in a steptronic, you have to hit 4th. In fact, I believe my trans shifts right into 4th gear at redline at an indicated 100mph, which really is about 97mph I believe.
