Default Haha. I usually drive in 5th anyways on the highway. @ 80mph, it's about 3500 RPMs, plenty
of power for passing easily. I could downshift to 4th but by the time I nail it, I'd have to upshift anyways.

Default I had that a few weeks ago when I was home.
Driving in the rain, punched it in 3rd as I was merging, revs climbed with no movement, then it caught, and that was it. I chalked it up to the slippery surface

Haha...I wish it was wet. Roads were bone dry, Maybe I'm putting too much power to the wheels ;-)

Default I've been wondering - w/ such a nose-heavy car, if they put ballast in the back to balance it out...
regardless...I can hAz?

Default Hmmm. With stock 3.0 I can punch it in 6th and still pass with ease. 80 at around 3k rpm.
Sorry...seems like only situation I can gloat about the 3.0!
