shutoko battle...

i forgot who else plays this game, but i have a question to those who do play it.

when i start off from 0 km/h, it takes forever to speed up to 50 km/h. once i hit 50, then i'm gone, but why is it so slow in first gear?

is it the gear ratios? the boost? ride height? acceleration?

can anyone help me?

ps: i just beat a 898hp r-34 with my 514 hp rx-7...thank god for the corners.

i also bought the 500+ hp (stock) corvette. it's up to 600+ hp now. whooooo!
