I've never heard that. Personally, I only use it to get in and out of a traffic crunch on the freeway. Second gear is cool when you leave a light at a slow speed. The torque is incredible. It's a good way to show the aggressive demeanor of the X. Once it's dropped into 3rd gear at freeway speeds, hold on baby!!!......Phil
