Can I downshift my RVB to 2nd gear to use as a passing gear
Can I downshift my RVB to 2nd gear to use as a passing gear
I talked to John cope for awhile before ordering my RMVB. He said shifting into 2nd for passing is fine. But he recommended not downshifting into low until the car was stopped or nearly stopped.
Or at least when you come flying into a 90 degree corner and want to fly out of it.
I would be scared of the back tires locking up! I accidentally down shifted into 1st at 25-30 MPH awhile back. My M/T ET street R's locked up and squealed like crazy before I got it shifted back into 2nd! I'm sure that a "rev match" would help greatly, but screw that.
I leave the corners and stuff to my Viper. The dart isn't very assuring.
