Don't worry about it. Our AV6's are way too heavy and underpowered through 1st gear. I raced a red CRX that revved on me down Beach Bl. last weekend and even he got the jump on me (until I hit 15 mph and smoked his ass...and at the next streetlight even worse when I actually launched). Just practice more at it. There should be just a little chirp if you do it right.

And give your transmission a little more credit. It's somewhat of a myth...to a point.
