Well really I love the whole car, but man third gear is great.

First and second are nice, but they pull so hard you are shifting within a second or two.

Fourth and fifth are nice, but they are just a bit too high to really pull hard.

When I hit 3500 rpm at WOT in third gear... man oh man.... worth every penny of 35k

 

2nd gear feels the most powerful to me

 

1st gear launches! haha

 

third gear is by far the best gear in both my mustangs. i had the chance to test drive a 5.0 about 2 weeks ago. impressive and very powerful. again, 3rd was the gear. i think the salesman was more impressed than i was. i really didnt have any road to open it up on...even the salesman was encouraging me to open it up.
i was nice but did experience the power and handling on the back whindy roads in southern PA

 

I kind of hate 3rd gear. Doesn't seem to pull as hard in 3rd. It doesn't seem to go as easily into 3rd under WOT. Definitely not as smooth as the 3-4 shift.

 

lol @ the 1 dude who voted for cruise mode.

still no takers for 4th and 5th. hmm.

 

I can't say that one gear stands out. I love them all, for different reasons. First and Second for that punch in the gut, tire-squealing, rip-roaring good time. Third is nice for the full out run up past the speed limit; it's the gear I find myself downshifting into for extreme cornering, and also the gear for those nice easy rolling turns into parking lots and side streets. Fourth I swear pulls harder than third, if you're going fast enough anyway. Fifth is good for cruising in town, and Sixth is where it's at on the highway.

 

If you like 3rd with a 3.73 dont ever drive a 3.31 in 2nd.

 

?????

 

3.31 in 2nd: It lasts longer than 2nd with 3.73 (He was complaining about how little time it lasted) but its got 28% more torque multiplication than 3rd with 3.73. Its essentially the same as 2nd with 4.10 in the 2005-2009 with a 20% Torque Increase and a 10% higher redline.

 

So I'm a little behind the times with my 2010 GT, with 5-speed and 3.31 rear . . .

voted 2nd -- nice bark on the shift to the speed limit in a quick jiffy, and still have 3 gears left!
