I can understand the scenario, as he explained. Just cruising along and you floor it with the car next to you. Seems fairly real worldly to me . A proper serious race then yeah fine i can understand why you wouldn't.

What i like about these rolling starts is that it also puts the effectiveness of the gearboxes to the test and shows the package as a whole. Not all gearboxes are quick to kickdown.
Totally agree with you. I drive in comfort mode most of the time and can understand the scenario.
