1. Lee Alex Says: i dont really know much about cars . Yesterday my friend told me that a car would drag faster if i would to shift the gear to 2 first and then to 3 and followed by D . Is tat even true? i havent tried it out though cause i am afraid the gear would break or sumthing.
2. Kerry Says: drive will allow the car to move thru all the gears including over drive if it has it...

2= 2nd gear...it will move from 1st to 2nd and hold there till you move gear selector

to drive/D.....hold it there and hi revs on engine?..will harm the engine after a period

as well as the transmission....

gear 2 will give you more speed to a degree but it will also retard the engine and hold it

back if you hang in there too long....not good
3. Blackberry Fanatic Says: LOWER GEARS, MEANS YOUR CAR REVS AT HIGHER RPMS, MEANS THE FEEL OF MORE POWER, OR QUICKER POWER DELIVERY BUT THEN YOU GOTTA SHIFT
