The other day I raced a GXP (to about 60) and we were neck and neck. Anyway we ran from a stop light. I gained my traction and floored it (not stompped it, I slowly brought it to the floor). I noticed i wasnt getting the strong pull that I get during normal driving, when I drop a gear and get the S/C to kick in.
For example,
Im driving doing about 35, and I push the pedal about 75% in. The car will grab me and I will get the pushed back in the seat feeling.
At a launch I begin to give it gas then near WOT, and it does not pull like the above.
I hope this makes sense. It may just be me. I wanted to see what you guys had to say about this.
