Hey everyone,
I recently got a 2005 Limited Edition Roadster with a manual transmission, I have a few questions:
1) is anyone else in the Daytona Beach, FL or Orlando area?
And more importantly
2) I don't know if this is just the crossfire in general or my own opinion, but the gears seem incredibly short. By time I hit 20mph first gear is passing 4000 rpm and 2nd lasts until 45mph if I really push it. Where do you find the ideal shifting speed/rpm? And how do you launch the car off the line with such short gears? If I drive normally it seems like 0-10mph is 1st gear, 10-30 is 2nd, 30-45 is 3rd and then 4,5,6 can be anything after. Perhaps I just need to get used to the car to find the sweet spots.

Thank you all!
