How do you know it didn't start in 1st gear? The lost power at redline is normal...that's the rev-limiter kicking in. Maybe I'm missing something here...

Dude get out there and do it again ! Safety first make sure theres nobody around for atleast a 1/4 mile put it in DS and give just a little brake pressure before you gun it !!!

Yes. Confusing thread. In DS the car should upshift everytime it hits red line up to top gear after which it will hit the limiter and cut power. If it's doing other than that in DS, it's broke.
