The manual GT4 / Spyder had or have similar feedback. I think you can do ~80+ in second gear.

The PDK had slightly shorter ratios in my standard Spyder, but the PDK in the RS is shorter still. It’s definitely better in my opinion - you get to experience the up and down shifts more often, which is great.
