The 1st to 2nd gear shift is quick since I'm trying to get up to 60 mph or 70 mph quick, but once I'm up there - with the rest of traffic - I'd like to accelerate at a more reasonable pace. 3rd offers too much power and 5th not enough. 4th is the perfect gear for decent highway acceleration. And my shift to 4th is in no way rushed or delayed. This is my 1st porsche. I have a 2000 3 series, manual transmission, no problem. I also had a 1991 accord manual transmission, no problem.
To answer racer's "Why" again is that 2nd gets you to highway cruising speeds. Of course if I wanted to keep going (100 mph +) I would go to 3rd.
