Go ahead and race him. Let us know how it turns out.

you will beat him i raced this guy in charlotte 2 times off the line and a running start. some college kids thought they can beat me/ i have a 05 se titan stock. start off with 2nd not first gear.

and how would you start off in second with an automatic tranny? Did you swap the auto out for a manual transmission? Impressive!

I'm thinking he did the manual shift up to 2nd...I"m gonna try it sometime. But race the chevy and let us know how you did man.

our trucks have a manual shifter. put the truck in manual mode. i think its standard on all titans.

I thought it would hold it in second, I didn't think you could actually start there. Hmmmmmmmm

[shawnwat4]

well, you can't start in second per se, but you can put in 1st and manually shift every gear yourself.

alot of guys like to put it in 3rd and race, they feel it shifts best in that gear.

we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and overdrive. if i'm in slow slow traffic (15-30mph) i'll put mine in secondf to make it more "jumpy"

[konigfritz]

just like you! I do the same, but not with the woman in the truck, she gets mighty angry!

[TitanFan59]

Well, if you would show her who wears the pants you wouldn't have to worry about it...

[redneckpapa1996]

shouldn`t that be panties instead of pants??

Is the Titan really meant to be shifted manually? I know people do it, but it didn't see where it says anything about it in the owners manual other then shifting between two gears like 4th to 5th.

It won't even hold it in second.....when you hit redline the truck will shift!!!

Also.....manual shift will do nothing for you. If you are pedal too the floor the truck will **** at redline and at no other time. YOu can not force it too shift early with your foot too the floor.

Just put the truck in D.....and race. With your foot too the floor the truck is going to shift the same way no matter where the selector is......

I tried to see if the tranny would start at 2nd and it doesn't it shifts and holds onto second...until you sift to 3rd. It would save us alot of wheel spin off the line if we could start at second...jump to first and shift back into second....but no can do.
