I don't think your going to see that much of a difference. Your still going to get the same type of launch if your in drive or 1st. The only difference your going to make is if you shift from 1st -> 2nd -> drive is that you will be able hold the rpms for longer. Which in anycase doesn't have that much benefits. You'll probably end up damaging your transmission after a while fooling around with it. -
yah do what Ted said, do the 1st to 2nd to Over driveComment

Actually I like to get my car up to about 110mph, then I slam it all the way down to 1st. This way the rpms are really high and I can pull a lot harder. Sometimes i'll do this when I do my stare and drive, then i'll just throw it in park and stop on the dime.Comment

thenyou get full revs of the engine, and camaros usually havr higher eng torque, and so the higher the RPMs, the faster you go in that gear, you know¿Comment
