I didn’t see any checkered flag, and I instantly backed off. Maybe I did it wrong? But it did lead me to wonder if it’s better to just mash the gas pedal all the way too?? And if you try this, is the idea that the car doesn’t engage the clutch (while the engine is at optimal RPM) until you release the brake? I think understanding what the car is actually doing would help ease my mind. Hopefully my little experiment didn’t damage my car at all!?? 🤣😬 Any ideas what I did wrong??
try going with your accelerator pedal all the way down (beyond point of resistance) ...there is a kick down switch....just try to feel it when the car is of.... i think this is what you are missing......
