Ok well my friend is saying that if i were to race my automatic from a complete stop. that putting it in 1st, and then shifting threw the gears as i am racing, will be faster and more powerful by tacking it at the same rpms. I told him that it is pointless and the car knows what gear it is supposed to be in from a stop and there is no more then u can do besides floor it.
Does it do anything at all for speed or acceration to drop it into 2nd gear or even 1st off the line? Usually when i do a short race up to like 75mph i just leave it in 3, consiously thinking it could help me out.
Is my friend a dumbass? Or is he right?
thanks, just curious.
