I read in the owners manual and noticed after switching to power the redline increases and I think it shifts at difefrent points also. Definitely on the higher redline. Try the "snow" one...lol....turns our cars into snails!

Just a tip in general about posting, You might want to go to SEARCH and type in what your looking for. Its saves you a lot of time. Most of the questions a new car owner has, probably have already been answered.
