definitely get seat time to learn and get used to your car cause it can be scary. 3rd is the wrong gear and gave him the race at that mph. as others said at 50 i would be in 2nd gear and for a really sick lunge between 50 and 60 mph. if going less the 50 i would start out in 1st but then it gets silly. i pulled on a red eye charger from 50 to top of 3rd by about a car and a half to 2 cars. still havent had the oppertunity to try a c7 z06. there was a c8 i messed with some and imo it was embarassing for him from a roll
