Why does first gear in every other car feel and seem faster than the Z?

ALSO, since we know where this is taking place... anything can happen. You both need to get to the track and see what happens there.

what is your launch RPM?

My husband would never drag race me on a track. He knows his precious Speed would lose, and he's not interested in proving it. And he's a big fan of the Z, too, so there's really no need. But I can't deny that when I drive his Speed, it just feels crazy fast. Almost hard to keep on the road fast.

But, let's go back a little. Forget about a launch.

Say you're on the track next to a brand new stock automatic Chevy Malibu. Say, rule is you can't touch the gas until the flag comes down. Theoretically, the Malibu driver is going to stomp that pedal and you hit the gas and let out the clutch. Even if you're really good, it's going to be him off the line first, easy, and then it will be neck and neck, probably him ahead, until you're in high RMPs in 2nd. Then you win.

That's what I'm saying.

And we all know Prius beats us in the Style category, too, so let's just not go there.
