I really needed to get over, so I punched it. The car went, but not as fast as I thought it would. It was like it should've downshifted another gear but it didn't. So basically, I just ran all the way through whatever gear I was in (seemed like it took forever). I didn't try downshifting manually with the tapshift, but at this point, my RPMs were probably too high anyway. BTW, I have the auto.

ALWAYS drive in M cause if you had and downshifted two gears. Trust me you would have flew like a bat out of hell!. D in this car sucks S is better M is the best. Unless i wish to just put put around i ALWAYS USE M
Like last night i was cruiseing with a friend of mine he was driveing his 92 camaro SS. We was going up a steep hill and my car bogged hardcore. I ended up going into M and slaming it down two gears. Then i flew up the hill to keep up with him had i kept driveing that agrresively. I would have flew past him like he was standing still
. I was not speeding or raceing i did not know the aera we was in AT ALL and i wanted to keep up with him to make sure i would not get lost. So the D mode to me like to hold you back ALOT and i mean ALOT it loves to bog the motor out to save you gas. I have messed around with all three setings alot and the more i drive it the more i hate D. But for normal put put cruise mode D is good for something JUST NOT THAT VERY OFFTEN!
