Weak 1st gear, strong 2nd??

[GSGoinFast]

K guys i got a question for you 2gnt manuels out there. do you guys have a weak first, and a lot stronger 2nd gear. cuz whenever i race, it will be dead even or the other car might even start gaining on me, but once i hit 2nd, i peel out and GOODBYE!! well thats when i win. when i raced a v6 tibouron, he got about a half car length on me while i was in first and i thought he was gonna just womp me at the rate he was gaining on me, but when i hit second he completly stopped gaining on me and we were dead even. and today i raced an alero, and he started to gain on me in first, maybe a half a car length, then i hit second, peeld out, and owned. so just wondering if you noticed the same thing with your cars or not
thanks

yes, exactly how my car drives too. I think its just how it is atleast it gives those other racers a little bit of time in the beginning to think they might actually have a chance :laugh:

That is what happened to me.
You are not alone.

That is how i beat and old Mercury Grand Marquis (92-94).
He was in a hurry, he was taking off in almost all the signal lights(at 2:00 am). But by one of them i got so piss and i went for it. I remember that he took off first that i did. But, by the time i hit second i flew. """He started to slow down and he learned the lession of not being in a hurry in all the signal lights"""".

Poor guy he just wanted to be at home early.

The second gear is a nice Ace under our Hand.

Tito.
