I cruise in M mode in 6th gear at 50 mph, he floored it, NO PULL or POWER at all, he then dropped all the way to 2nd gear at the same 50mph, and it pulled like a mad dog. I never knew about this, he also told me that I shift a lot earlier before redline too many times to the point where I’m at 5-7th gear at 40 or less, which was another thing. I was inexperienced over it, he then explained to me about the lag in flooring it in Automatic mode, when flooring in automatic, the brief moment before it pulls, the ECU is downshifting to the lowest gear then pulling, he said it’s normal for automatic mode to have a brief delay before pulling when flooring. He also stated that when in automatic mode, you can press the downshift once, then hold it again and the car will AUTOMATICALLY drop to the lowest gear, he then floored it and it pulled! I didn’t know about the gear and speed thing. After all this, there’s still one last thing... there’s a “dead zone” when slightly hitting the accelerator in automatic mode.

That would explain everything. Atleast now you know and it's a lesson learned :P I did this too by accident before. I forgot I was in 7M and tried flooring it and it just wouldn't move. Then I realized a few seconds later it was in over drive.



Now it's time to enjoy the real performance of the car
