Default A4 Acceleration

i have a 99 trans am and i read in my book that if you take it out of overdrive and put it in 3 then you will have a faster accelerating car and i tried it and noticed a difference but i was wondering is it bad for the trans to be started out and driven in that gear and i noticed that when i let off the gas it doesnt decelerate fast

the only thing that makes it quicker is it doesnt have to downshift.
