It felt like it threw an anchor. Within milliseconds I first thought my tire popped or 1-2 pistons flew away. You can't compare lifting off the gas with getting the torque instantly restricted by 4,2x.
Letting of the gas uses smoothing functions and doesnt cut the power.

Having a Speed limit was also one of my thoughts too. But stock zl1's run like 196 mph. and my car papers states a top speed of 202 mph.
