Okay so you were in the passenger seat... I know what I did and what the car did. Your wrong on both accounts. You’ve never down shifted to increase RPM?

I know what happens when you downshift forcing the engine to over-rev.

YOU DONT ACCELERATE. YOU GET ENGINE BRAKING.

Down-shifting to 2nd @ 100 mph nets you 8000+ rpm. How long did you stay on it in 2nd before up-shifting ...

And how much did you slow down?
