Yeah Parmas, 1st gear on the C160 is rediculouly low. Even with no boost I can fry my tires on demand in 1st. I find myself startin in 2nd unless I need to get moving quickly.

I don't know why is the C160 so low in 1st... maybe for cars having big wheels. I never tried it but I am about sure I can do a nice burnout with 2nd gear easily

Actually the C160 has a taller 1st gear, the difference comes from the 4.529 FD vs the 3.722 in the C50.

C50
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Reverse Final
3.545 1.904 1.310 0.969 0.815 3.250 3.722

C160
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Reverse Final
3.166 2.050 1.481 1.166 0.916 0.725 3.250 4.529
