I'm not!
What do you mean "So your still only in first gear" Do you not know how to shift the standard into high gear? A lot of them have the map right on the shift ball.
Yeah, "...1000 rpm IS barely off idle" (so far so good) "...So your still only in first gear" (ooops the blunder raises its head). What sense can that statement possibly make?
With a stick you can be at 1000 rpm in any gear (all forwards,neutral, as well as reverse).
I'd rather be in fourth at 1000 rpm with a 4.56 axle than in fourth at 1000 rpm with a 3.08 or a 2.73 axle is as close as I will agree with your statement.
I guess its "head butting Bs" when you're losing the argument.
