Have you guys noticed the following when going full throttle through the first 3 gears in sport mode:
1st gear: redline 5100~rpm
2nd gear: redline 5100 ~rpm
3rd gear: still having the pedal to the metal, it shifts at 4700-4800rpm!
My question is:
Why doesn't it pull all the way to redline through 3rd gear as well?
1st gear: redline 5100~rpm
2nd gear: redline 5100 ~rpm
3rd gear: still having the pedal to the metal, it shifts at 4700-4800rpm!
My question is:
Why doesn't it pull all the way to redline through 3rd gear as well?

Just a guess: Does different gearing in 4th mean that by changing up slightly earlier it drops the engine right on peak torque?

Can't wait to test the limits, but have to curb these excessive thoughts for the next couple of weeks. Not going to be easy, but I'll try
