what's the top speed of 1st gear?

I was having fun with my baby(EVO 9), I was on the highway and, parking lots with people and I'm not a huge fan of racing but then I wanted to know what's the top speed of 1st gear. On 5k/RPM my car was going up to 25~30mph and on 6.5k/RPM
it was going up to 32sh MPH but I thought it would have to go up to 50mph. is that normal for 1st gear? I felt bad for myself =/ .

1st gear will not go up to 50 mph. if you're going 32 at 6.5 rpm, you don't have much more before redline.

Our cars were made on the concept of taking corners in dirt, snow, and gravel. Essentially the car is made to dig itself out of holes, climb mountains, and destroy terrain known as WRC..

The only vehicles i know with tall first gears either cost 500K+ or come with only 2 wheels. If the first gear seems too short to you its possible to get different final drive ratios on built transmissions.

Step 1: Start car
Step 2: Depress clutch pedal
Step 3: Put into 1st gear
Step 4: Release clutch
Step 5: Accellerate to 72-7400rpm and read the MPH....lol

and that's it.. you're going 50mph in 1st gear.. it's alot easier than you think

Note: Just incase you didn't get it, don't really do this.

You could pertty much bounce it off the rev limiter and tell us instead of asking. I was curious myself but would not do something like that...I'd just shift.
