stomped on the automagic, which downshifted to 1st or 2nd (not quite sure) and I just scraped redline! Is this normal for us automatics, or just a freak combo of the intake and nice cool nighttime air?

 

did that once stock

 

cool...@ least I know its normal. But thanx for making me feel less special :P lol

 

If you were on the highway, I would think you downshifted to 2nd. Unless you were going REALLY slow....

well it isn't a real hwy. It has a 80km/h limit (about a 48mph), but is still called a hwy It also has traffic lights, and I started from a red light, so that's y I put in the possibility of first gear

 

Do it a lot.

 

i used to do it a lot. i liked it, tranny didnt. we've reached a compramize.

 

i had to drive my mom's tl around yesterday....the shifter is d4, d3, d2 d1....well, i shifted that sum b!tch like a manual ALL day long.....1st, 7k rpm, shift, CHIRP, 2nd, 7k rpm, shift, CHIRP, 3rd, 7.5k rpm (oops), shift, CHIRP......i love Acura's notorious torque steer

 

You can chirp 3rd gear in a 4 speed, auto Acura? That I did not know.
