Re: now that I'm back in town.... yawwwwnnnn
....AGAIN O/D DOES NOT CHANGE SHIFT POINTS!!!! IT DOES NOT REV HIGHER WITH OD OFF!!!! AND IT JUMPS UP 2K RPMS BC YOUR IN 3RD NOT 4TH... HENSE MORE RESPONSIVE. AND YOUR CAR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ECT POWER BUTTON ON TO SHIFT HIGHER THAN 5400, IF YOU FLOOR IT ALL THE WAY, IT WILL GO TO 6250

With O/D off, it changes the shift points of all the gears lower than 4th, thus stayin' in each gear longer,.... meaning you can get more hp / tq out of each gear if it is allowed to rev higher. Wow, what a theory.... If you're drivin' an automatic at say,... 60 mph and simply hit the switch if it's on to turn it off, your rpm's jump up about 2000 rpm or a lil less,...and it's far more responsive.
ECT/PWR mode doesn't create some imaginary hp,... it controls the shifting to maximize power in each gear, or you could do normal to maximize fuel efficiency, hence shifting at lower rpms, consuming less fuel.
I guess some of ya'll didn't watch my video clips in the racing section of me launchin' manually from 0 -120mph,... the only time it shifts at redline is if you manually do it, otherwise it always shifts around 5400 or somewhere in that area. I can't say from a stand still it makes much difference being I tried it both ways at the track ( HRP with jbrady and AgGS400 ), but when already rollin', it makes a hell of a difference because the ECU doesn't know to kick down a gear and leave it there so you can whoop somebody on a rollin' take off. I gate shift ONLY when I KNOW someone is rollin' next to me tryin' to bait me into a race and I know I'm goin' to need the torque from the higher rpm's.
I guess somebody didn't bother lookin' at the closeness in weight of these cars,... this ain't comparing a 3000lb car vs a 4000lb car, nor is this a comparision of only a 10hp / 10 ft-lb difference either. Everybody keeps alluding the the SC400 as if it were ONLY available in one motor trim,.... 250, 260, 290,... I know two of those you're not goin' to beat,... I've raced a couple of 300's on the hwy and it didn't happen. Now as for a 250hp model,... maybe,... I can see that as a possiblility,... but nothin' I'd bet a paycheck on.

ok i'm trying to get this pedal popping technique down, so i was too sitting in the seat and i pushed the pedal down i felt more resistance at one point near the end, and then pressed it further and it gave just a bit more, this area feels a bit different, is that the kickdown? ...i really didn't hear a -popping- sound though. do you guys really mean a pop like a popcorn pop or just any kind of sound?

A stock Soarer 4.0 GT and an SC400 would be exactly the same... they are the exact same car albeit left hand drive and right hand drive.... so unless the navigation computer in the soarer weighs it down, you should expect the same times, the same thrills.
I just came back from a quick drive to walmart... and all i can say is, our cars basically rule the road.
