3rd gear all the way.
You can drive it anywhere from 20-100+. You can powershift into 2 different gears from there. Power downshift into 2nd, or power upshift into 4th. You can let the ricer think he has a chance by trompin it down at 40 until you hit maybe 50-55, then you hammer it into 2nd and let him know you were just playing with him.
Plus, once you hit 65 in 3rd all the rest of the cars realize that you're not going to stop pulling anytime soon, jaws drop and carlengths pile up between you and the idiot who believed 5 point slow.
Yep, you can catch rubber, beat just about anything on the road, and drive just about any speed you want.
3rd gear rocks!
