>>15156794
Riding out first gear to redline followed by chirping the tires into second gear is the most satisfying shift.
>>
>>15156814
Fucking right it is, dumping the clutch in first, ass sideways, going into second tires still spinning
>>
>>15156794
Because first to second isn't exciting and second to third is just going into gear for 30mph.
Third to fourth is satisfying because you're doing so to go faster than the typical speed limit.

1st to 2nd cause then I'm going 100+

Hektik skid driving, 1-2 easily. Pulling so hard and preparing for the 2-3 cause it's coming FAST.
Cruising? 4-5. It's a simple flick if the wrist, like your ever so slightly pushing someone away with your palm.

second to third. At speed it is the most satisfying shift. one to two is easy as is three to four. second to third requires timing and skill. it may not get a chirp, but it will get you some in the seat action!

I know you're new to this, but you're thinking of revs, not horsepower. Horsepower is how much power the engine can produce and cars don't have gauges that measure how much you're making. What number you should shift on depends on your car, situation and gear that you're in, there's no easy answer to that.
