well if your going to have fun with the car when you driving it of course bring it up to 9g's in first. Then you'll be at the right speed limit for the road assuming it's a 35. heres something fun though. Cruise on a highway and then downshift to 3rd and rev match say your going 55- clutch in, shift to third, bring revs up to 5500, and go.)(the same pattern should follow for any speed when shifting to third 65=6500, 70=7000 the pick up in third is a lot of fun to me for some reason so i hope i have helped.
