How fast is your car going at 1,200 rpm in first?
Lot's of factors play into it. First gear ratio, final drive, etc. I intentionally went with a pretty short first for this reason. Forum consensus was it would be to low and useless, but didn't factor in the need to do parking lot speed on a street car.
