I had a '78 99L...it was a 4 speed, so naturally 1st was a bit taller. Not sure about your '83 turbo. Anyhow, I find 1st gear on my '89 900S pretty much totally worthless, and it's no better on the '01 9-3 I just bought. I may be crazy, but I haven't seen turbo boost while in 1st...maybe that's a feature...anyway, it's pretty short, which makes it less fun off the line than my 99 was (the 1000 extra pounds of weight hampers the 900/9-3 a bit vs. the 99 as well).
However, 2nd and 3rd sure do make up for it :-)
