So What's Your Favorite Pull?
 
Thought this might be interesting. Was wondering what everyone's favorite pull range was? This is more for the MT guys, but AT guys are welcome as well. Hopefully this isn't on the border-line of "race" discussion? Let's assume on-ramp to free-way pulls only here...;)


As for me, it's the 40-70mph. It's brief, but that's quite alright. It's the range that most accurately and properly is directly proportional to the number of :eek: 's I get.

MIK3 Jul 2, 2008 05:37 PM

It's such a common thing here, I'm at peace with it. Let the flammers get their gratification they wouldn't other wise get in the real world. If it makes them feel important, I'll go with it...

It's just a question, nothing more. I welcome SoonerFan's cult...

For me it's anything in 2,3,4, from around 3.5K RPMs the redline. I don;t do it often, but I love the feel of it.

wyche89 Jul 2, 2008 06:49 PM

i love second gear at 40-60mph... that pull is just freakin addicting... then again 3rd and 4th are pretty nice on the highway too.. lol

MoncefA33 Jul 2, 2008 06:50 PM

2nd & 3rd from 3,500rpm to the limiter.

:spit: you got me on that one.
I like from about 0-120 :D on the drag strip of course

maxima.713 Jul 2, 2008 07:05 PM

Mine Is on 1st gear from 20 to 40mph. This thing pulls hard!

i would've put something in first gear, but my sh*tty @$$ tires don't allow me to feel the full effect of the VQ35 that gear :mad:

G4nismo Jul 2, 2008 07:16 PM

after installing my 00VI, i would have to say 2nd gear pull :D

meccanoble Jul 2, 2008 11:20 PM

the 3.5ers must be having a blast...I'm extremely happy with anytime on first gear, just doesnt last long....2nd gear redline feels great too. When I HAD boost, a down shift into 3rd gear around 4k rpm to redline was orgasmic

MIK3 Jul 3, 2008 01:32 AM

Does anyone else feel guilty after a pull or is it just me? Don't get me wrong, I love it...I just feel like I'm abusive. However, I am reassured due to VQ-dependability.

vinco Jul 3, 2008 06:18 AM

Definitely 60-90 in 4th, while blowing by other cars on the freeway. It pulls good while not feeling abusive to the car.

'02_EMILBUS Jul 3, 2008 06:46 AM

I agree both with MIK3 and vinco.... i feel abusive to it but hell, thats why i make those payments. And 4th gear is great on the highway!!!

NmexMAX Jul 3, 2008 07:38 AM

4500 - 7100.

Take care of the car, and it will take care of you... for the most part. My car sees over 4-5k on a daily basis.

My favorite pull would be either 2nd or 3rd, 3k-6.4k

hell no.. just keep synthetic oil in there, don't redline it, and you'll be good to go.. whats the fun of having a VQ if you don't enjoy using it's power? i love it

NmexMAX Jul 3, 2008 08:50 AM

What's fun about having a VQ if you can't 'redline' it? :jeffy:

maxdriver10 Jul 3, 2008 09:19 AM

This is where i reallf wish i had a manual :(....and a vq35 :(....but my favorite "pull" is first gear 15-40/45 mph....it happens so fast that the riced out honda doesn't even know what hit him :)

Mine see's redline :hide:

and i like first.. but my tires suck and if they dont break lose at the start then they start to brake from 4500+,,.. so second gear to redline gets my vote

3.5 6mt FTW

Majestic Ken Jul 3, 2008 02:15 PM

1st is a beast from a roll haha it jumps so quick. but my favorite is a 2nd gear roll

Same here. 50-70 getting on the freeway is addicting too.

DrunkieTheBear Jul 3, 2008 03:25 PM

I'll post once the new engine is in.....

MIK3 Jul 3, 2008 04:54 PM

^ Looking forward to that post.


I am also looking forward to the difference a lighter-wheel/tire combo, Illumina/H-tech and lightweight UDP will make in throttle response/pull.

gonna pm grey99 about the IM and cams

this project is coming along a thread will be started and I decided to not be a meanie and tell everyone my secrets about this engine all they need to do is ask the right questions. :D

sunstream453 Jul 3, 2008 05:28 PM

my favorite pull = 6th all the way to my 7100rpm limiter
















:wall:

NmexMAX Jul 3, 2008 05:30 PM

:spit::bs:;)

pbn85 Jul 3, 2008 05:36 PM

6th gear pull ftw! No actually its more of a 6th gear push LOL

3rd gear pull merging on the highway is probably my favorite thing about having a 6mt with headers :D

I wish I could do the same in 2nd but I fear the 3rd gear crunch :(

Shady33e Jul 3, 2008 05:44 PM

mine is the 3rd gear pull shifting from 2nd, love the sound of berk intakes WOT 4k-6k..

NmexMAX Jul 3, 2008 09:14 PM

Ouch :shiner:

QNO_A32 Jul 3, 2008 09:26 PM

40 to about 95 or so....wind out 3rd.:rolleyes:

FlipCpt45 Jul 3, 2008 09:32 PM

1st - 2nd... third gear is done on my car.. :(

But hey, my 00vi still works, and my VLSD is still in tact :)

knight_yyz Jul 4, 2008 07:02 PM

maybe its just me, but gas prices force me not to abuse my car as much...

Shift_early! Gas is too expensive...
