Yes, L99's do start off in 2nd when you don't use TapShift to manually drop down to 1st.

The thing about the L99, when you mash the gas pedal from a 30 mph roll for instance, is the lag before the car takes off. I understand that the transmission will downshift and then the car will take off, but the car feels slower than you would expect in that type of situation.

Of course, once it gets going, it moves pretty well and even for a stock car, you feel like you're in a pretty fast car.

With a Kenne Bell blower, the car has all the balls you could want from a 30 mph roll.
