I'm all for describing low powered cars as momentum, but IMO falling on your face going from first to second destroys momentum and forces you to drive around an obvious flaw. And it could probably be fixed with programming.speedblind wrote: Is there a picture of a smart driver wincing as the car shifts into 2nd gear?Learn to drive one correctly and it shifts fine. This is a momentum car and quite fun when you use all it has to give.
Were you shifting for yourself or letting the trans do it for you? I have no issue letting it rev, shift/mild lift, back on and go.
