Agreed. The only reason LSPI came up as a possible condition for the detonation that is happening is because the apparent load seems to remain a factor, but the event happens much later in the rpm range.
So with this car you can:
Let's say you're going 35 mph.
If you downshift to a lower gear that brings the rpm up to around 4K, you can accelerate through all gears to redline without a hiccup.
BUT, if you are already in a low rpm state (say 2.5K rpm) at speed and accelerate in that steady gear until 4-5K'ish rpm... it will super knock and shutdown.
I tell ya man, it's weird as hell.

Wow, fuel fill ups are stored in the DME? Never knew that. How do you check that? I’ve been using 92 octane since I bought the car brand new, but would love to know if the DME “thinks” it’s 92 like I’ve been seeing on the gas pumps. Thanks!
