are you guys talking about when racing?
its not that they manually shift thier car most pple with autos jus launch it by putting it in the lowest gear possible P R N D 3 2 1 for example they will put in that in 1 get it redlined and then moved it up again to drive this is a way to get a really good launch with an auto but for the tiptronics out there, manumatic, paddle shifter, whatever i said what i said and i will say it again hope thier right leg grows bigger than the left lol

Putting your car in 1 will not make it any faster off the line than in D. It will just prevent it from shifting. The only time youd need to do this is if your car is modified in some way. The transmission knows what its doing.

..well said Quote:
having it in L (1) is the same thing as first gear in when in D... except for you shift it when u want when in L, or1 ...which youll probably miss the powerband anyway. so its no better |

Yes, lol. 1st gear is 1st gear. shifting it manually is an ego thing.
