what speeds do you guys do in first gear?

Honestly dont have time to look! At a guess 60km/h.

um, depends on what tyres I have on. 60 would be the max I reckon. I usually run out first pretty quick. WHy do you want to know?

a touch under 70kph

20mph usually.
5mph if stuck in traffic.😵‍💫

Depends how quickly I can change gears hopefully before the 8000rpm or 60-70kmph.😀

76-85 km/h......in the notch depending which tyres.

Hi

I made a graph to demonstrate the difference in gear ratios between a stock 1303 VW trans and my G50 at 6000 rpm shift point with a 25.315 inch tyre (235/45x17).
