It doesn't work that way. It is a passing gear. No more than that. It doesn't change anything with regard to a standing start.

As to the six speed version. Come on. You bought a manual. So, do it manually. When riding in 6th gear (or even fifth) Simply step the throttle pedal to the floor. You will feel the engine load and start to mildly accelerate. Quickly, push the clutch in as you drop two gears. Do not let up on the throttle. Let the clutch back out, quickly.

The engine will free spin for a second and then ....POW, passing gear.

Hard on the clutch and the drive line, especially if you miss the gate. But, if you do it right you get and o-m-g.

If you are driving an NA you only get an o-m-g. That includes auto sticks as well. However in an SRT you get an O-M-G.

It is the reason I talked Cathy into one.

Worth every coffee and rose I bought her this year.
