Default Strongest Gear???
I have read on the board that people like 2nd gear the best... in my experience with my stock S4, 1st gear produces the most whoosh for me. Is that consistent with others? When I shift into 2nd gear, the car does not feel as strong.

First is stronger, but Second lasts longer.
