Does anyone find it easier to start out in 2nd gear as opposed to 1st. 1st seems like a really short gear and shift into 2nd hasn't always been smooth.

It's you ;)

Seriously, I use first when starting out from a stop, but it is very short and if I'm rolling at all I'll use second, as the car will pull it comfortably w/no clutch slip.

400HP at whatever RPM is nice, but real torque at 1500RPM is also nice...
