I read a newer thread about turbo lag and (proving the mind wanders a bit) it brought to mind the extreme downshifts when you step on it to accelerate into traffic. Now, granted, maybe it's just me not having learned gas pedal control with only 2000 miles under my belt, but I find it a bit crazy when I want to accelerate quickly into traffic from say 30-40 mph and the tranny seemingly downshifts to gear 1 (that could be an exaggeration as I am thrust back into the seat and too startled to look) and revs hit 13,000rpm (ok, another exaggeration)!!! Anyway, I have to believe that some of you have experienced this, as well.
I have pretty much always had great pedal control, including manual transmissions. But this..... So I guess the question is: is this something that you learn to finesse and better control as the miles roll on, or just learn to expect it? Cheers, y'all.
