unless you have xhp then you can disable kickdown
Yep, I'm specifically referring to the "click." If you floor it, you can feel a second click underneath the pedal depending on how far you push down. That's the kickdown switch, and is the difference between accelerating in gear vs. the car down shifting for fastest acceleration. If you hit the kickdown switch, the car may downshift to 3rd/2nd. You want it to stay in the same gear for the whole pull.
