well i got a qestion , cause i have an auto i guess since it bads to use your auto like a stick but just curious if im at a stand still like a stop sign and put it in "L" 2nd 3rd d" would i have better take off then i would in "D", cause if i leave it in D it pulls around 45 it think and you can feel it and say if your on the highway going 65 would you put it in 3rd to pass some one or leave it in D?

autos shift based on engine load, rpms and throttle imput.

on this particular uphill curve, the transmission would shift between overdrive and the gear under that, so i'd go from neutral handling, to a bit of frightening oversteer and would worry about hitting the cement barrier.
