That is why I was thinking gearing really would matter.
I still get good engine braking in 2nd gear--1st gear just freewheels but once driving fast there is no need for 2nd gear, even around a turn I can keep the speed quick enough not to need 1st gear--yet top speed is 125--130 before it hits a safe redline of 6,500.
I really, really like driving with both feet. How folks drive just using one foot for both the brake and gas I don't know. No wounder they bump cars ahead of them once in a while. I can brake while the other foot is just coming off the gas
