Mine does about 64 in 2nd, now i know my box has lower ratios because its 6spd, but went out in my mates new shape impreza wrx, and it went over 75 in 2nd, i was shocked, although it didnt make it a great deal faster as by the time hes coming out of 2nd im in 3rd and going past 80, just wondered what others are like?

iv never had a car that did anything like that kind of speed in 2nd

Dunno really, its around 60ish I think, put it this way, I don't need 3rd to do 0-60 in 5 seconds.

A tvr with a close ratio box option can get 100 out of second.

My gsi gets just below 60 out of second and 87ish out of third.
