Surprisingly I worry more about the 2nd gear shift, THATS when I'm more likely to get serious wheel spin, at times accompanied by a serious 'pucker factor' as the car starts to dance around!  |
Dito - be careful hitting 2nd! I have also had mine start to drift towards the top (sweet spot) of 3rd gear.
Make a few easy runs and get the feel.
It is a blast!!!!!! |
