Well if its the cluch down in 3rd you wont have to be a full speed to make it slip at 4th gear and especially 5th or 6th.

As for the fuel theory, wouldnt it affect it in 1st and 2nd too?

I've put the same ethanol mix in my car and I haven't had a problem. Maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges but just wanted to offer my two cents.

Ok, everyone at the count of three say 'dave's an idiot!!'

I think I know what it is. Wheel spin. It's funny though, the 'Active Handling' message does not show up. However, I put it in Competitive Mode and boom, it takes off! I think once the tires spin a little, active handling kicks in and lowers the power. Hard to believe I am losing traction at 50-70mph w/o popping the clutch and with DRs. I am going to keep playing to make sure. Thanks for all the help.
