My car is kinda weird about it, if you floor it going 30 or less, the RPMS will go way up (lower gear) But if your going 30 or higher and floor it it just gradually accelerates. Is it because when i'm going 30 or less the highest gear it's in is 3rd and when i floor it it goes down to second?

and to the OP, hahaha ya'll from over der in louisianny? Ya sure dun talk funny ya little feller. I aint never heard nothin like "catch a second" or "scratch a second", well I recon thats the funniest damn way i have ever dun heard it said.
haha Seriously though. Usually here we call it chirping second, and if you do it real good, we call it barking second. I have 275's with good tread and I can spin/chirp/bark 2nd all I want, just depends on how I'm drivin, how fast I shift, etc. Its the #1 reason I like having an M6 now.

[QUOTE=SchultzLT1;8009399]When you floor it just over 30 it is going into 2nd, when you floor it just under 30 it is downshifting to first.

Here's the deal, I've only had my 01' Z28 for a little while now. What I'm trying to figure out, why isn't it screaming a second anymore? I haven't changed anything at all. Even though it isn't catching a second anymore, it seems to be a hair bit quicker. I don't know, maybe I'm wanting to think it's quicker now, lol. It's completely stock, except, the guy I bought it from, he put SLP exhaust and lid on it, also, it's an automatic. The only thing I might have changed is using different oil and different gas than him. Could it be quicker now compared to when it used to catch a second?
