Hmmm... That's what I thought, First gear is a lower gear than reverse. Any idea why my car spins the wheel so much easier in Reverse than first?

Which is, because when you go to take off all of the cars weight is shifted backwards, over the driven wheels. In a front wheel drive, or when you are in reverse, all of the weight is lifted off the driven wheels, making wheel spin easier. It's just the opposite of what happens when braking (which is why the front wheels dust up so much quicker)
