BTW, I think I saw the GT500 in a video called "Top Ten Cars That Want You Dead" or something to that effect. Something about having way more engine than brakes.
I had a Toyota Pickup back in the 80's and I always took off in second. It worked so why not?

I also had an Audi 5000 with a 5-speed. It was normal to go from first to third and then to fifth. It never seemed to bog down.
