Woohoo Untouchables! Love that movie. My opinion on fast cars is a bad opinion. You have a car and it can go fast. So what stay in 3rd gear your whole time driving? You can't help but go fast like my friends dad says. My friend has an Acura RSX, I don't like it because your fitting me and 4 others inside from school and then him driving 2 the speed limit on a small street. Thats why I want an SUV for safety and when I go upstate NY skiing. Snow baby. 4 wheel drive!

LoL, the manual Vette has a solenoid that locks out 2nd and 3rd, forcing you to shift from 1st to 4th unless you keep the revs high (i.e., you are using the torque for performance acceleration).

Reason? This saves enough on fuel consumption that the vehicle is able to avoid the gas guzzler tax.

How screwed up can you get. It needs the solenoid to avoid the tax, requiring the driver to launch at performance levels in order to go sequentially through the gears. Of course, for a few dollars, you can have the solenoid "surgically" disabled.

But then again, a Z06 can go from 0 to 60 all in first gear!
And get this, it can actually start from 0 in sixth gear and go all the way to about 190..all in sixth gear!
