in a cobra you should be able to leave it in second or third gear for most of that.

torque > all


i really liked where clarkson put the vette in 4th gear, started it up, and kept going up to 130 mph or so

i think hes referring to traffic as stop and go, wouldnt wanna use 2nd and 3rd to start the car...unless its less wear like that which i highly doubt.

PS: it was 5th gear and IIRC it was like 160mph! :D z06 is a beast
