Ok! 1st gear is soooo short! Feels like its faster to start on 2nd

At the track? The car is much stronger from 0-60 but do you think Im losing with shifting each second... Next weekend I´ll test it at track...What should I expect?

Expect your face to distort into a really wicked grin. Shifting won't detract any more from your times than it did before the gears. It just seems more of disruption in the flow of power because there's so much more being transferred to the ground now. Enjoy!

I would still start in 1st gear at the track. You'll have to learn to ease it out of the hole more in first gear. Practice your shifting, you'll be doing it a lot more now.

Also, an aftermarket shifter would bea good investment if you don't have one already.
