That makes no sense, the car is way way quicker with the use of first gear.


Sounds like we need to line them up then ///unless all those letters and numbers after z43.0i means your car is all souped up

Ideally I should have a 1st that goes up to 50mhp or so with my power output

You do , it's just labeled 2nd LOL


Not sure but when you nail the 2nd gear start it sure seems like you get to 45/ 55 mph pretty darn quick at which time I just shift to 4th and slid into the pack of cars in my 45mph zone / my reasoning is that's just one shift .

I have narrowly avoided being rear ended once then had another close call .The drivers see you take off quick but don't realize you have to grab another gear. Part of it is for sure the drivers are jealous because even though you may be going to work or run an errand you look like you are having too much fun to them . I get this almost every day I drive this car (story for another thread) WAY more than I ever dealt with in my topless Vetts or Camaros
