ya i mean 1st gear in these cars is so short lived, sounds like you are trying to race someone when you get around 3500 RPM in 1st.

ProTip of the week:
I usually make sure Im doing about 90mph on the freeway in 6th and then when I see the exit. I just force it into 1st gear at 90mph. Keeps my rims clean with no brake dust. My forehead slams into the window but rather have clean rims.
