I guess I just got used to the 1st gear start since my previous car ('02
911 
Turbo) was a manual. It's important that I can accellerate quickly from a 
dead stop so as to prevent soccer moms in SUVs from beating me across the 
intersection -- but over the past week of ownership I'm getting used to
the 
2nd gear start. It doesn't bother me so much now and the switch to 1st is 
only a button-click away if I want it.
