Ive been in multiple races where im pulling hard on someone in 1st and 2nd gear, but when I shift into third i dont pull nearly as hard, and then when i go into fourth i begin to pull hard again....

Is our third gear really tall or what is going on because my car has no balls in third gear?

2nd was always my favority, but 3rd was never a problem. I've never heard of a case where the car pulls strong in 1st, 2nd, and 4th but not in 3rd.

The 03/04 third gear is pretty well known. You will see lots of I had a fender on the cobra untill third gear and then he pulled me good.

is it visual or do you feel it? sometimes when im just farting around it feels slow but that's cause im just plowing into it at like 2k. most cars are strong in 3rd. it seems to be a feel good gear(ratio wise).perhaps those other cars have good grunt in that gear too.
