I've found that missing 1st gear and going straight into 2nd helps, every time im in 1st it just "bunny hops" and it feels a tad smoother and slightly faster starting off in 2nd

I can honestly say I don't find it that bad. It won't set the Tarmac on fire but gets me from a to b and can still break the speed limit lol

I have had cars running almost 300bhp etc and for the extra in fuel road tax and insurance costs it ain't worth it
I couldn't agree with this more...I too am fed up of ever increasing costs, I don't know about you lot but having 200bhp under the hood here doesn't mean much when 75% of my time I'm sat in traffic *yay* such a waste...I don't think ill miss the power in my GT
