Default Re: Is it okay to skip first gear?

As most things on this Forum...this is my opinion and I'm sure there will be 20 more just to argue; 2nd gear starting is too hard on the clutch with such high gearing in the rear end, (my memory is 3.25). If the car had something more like a 3.73-3.90 it might be more accectable to skip 1st gear
