Hey Leon... AE85 is not only good in Akina downhill and usui
only... as you yourself knows that you only try akina downhill and
usui only... we ask you to try other course but you still don't
want to... i guess you are too stubborn or lazy to try the rest
only... lol 
if you are not that lazy again to read whatever in this whole
topic... you should have see that someone already got rainbow
aura... which means it should be a good car somehow... Levin AE85
is a car that really trains/improve the driver's skills... also,
the reason why this car acceleration is slow is most likely due to
the gear shifting... especially the start up that affects the
rest...
Also, i have tested your car last week... so i dare to confirm that
the correct gear shiftings for AE85 should be
5250,5750,6250,6500... this will gives AE85 a smooth acceleration
for the rest of the gears to run other course too...
i have tried the 5500,5500,6250/6500,6500 gear shiftings for AE85,
it does affect the AE85 acceleration somehow... eh people with
sharp eyes should be able to see the difference... i guess some of
us in this forums should have known that AE85 is one of the top 5
start-up/pick-up speed cars... those who wish to experience
rocket/faster start up during battles should try
5250,5750,6250,6500... Hope this helps!!! 
Good luck to all AE85 users!!!
