Default Re: Is it okay to skip first gear?

I quite agree. Rear end could have be longer or 6th could have been taller. I often find myself tooling for miles in fifth 'cause there isn't much difference to go to six. Seems a wasted opportunity for mileage oer perhaps a higher top end.
Had I bought the car for "***** out" acceleration, there would be a Viper under my butt. The SRT6 was not available with manual so what fun would that be?
However, you have to admit that for the money, you get a lot from the XF.
Thanks for the reply
