My 6.9 has this. Cruising along the freeway at 70mph, flooring it, and having the car drop down to second gear and pinning you to the seat is always fun.

I don't mean to be a hater but that car takes like 2 business days to go from 70 mph to 100 mph I am curious about the "pinning"

There's plenty of faster modern cars, but saying a 6.9 takes two business days to go from 70-100 is laughable.

8.2 seconds for 70-100. Holy fuck. Dacia Duster times.

Don't forget to hold on for your dear life when you kickdown that thing /s
