I want your wheels!!

Great car. Take care. Learn how it handles and feels before getting crazy. It can exceed your abilities if you're not a track driver. Grow into it and you'll have it a long, long time.

Enjoy!

Goes to 1 when you start the car or rolling very slowly.

The transmission usually will start in second as the car has enough torque to easily do so. This makes for smoother acceleration and a more calm driving style. However if you give the car enough throttle input when leaving the line it will take first before leaving allowing you to reap the acceleration benefits.
