Maybe coupes can do it and sedans can't? I did floor it and it shifted without me letting go of the gas pedal.
My coupe always reaches redline at each speed, maybe just because previous owner added performance stage I chip it to make it reach to redline, maybe u need to add chip on your car. Stage I chip cost him 1,500 dollars. Im thinking about upgrade it to stage II with some mods to do.

·Yeah, it was really wierd when I saw Alik driving and I noticed that his sedan didn't go all the way up to the redline. Makes me wonder if he somehow has like a Type-I ECU in his car or something so that it thinks his redline is 6200 because that's what it looked like where it was shifting at, unlike my coupe where it shifts everytime at like 6700-6800 or something like that. I can't wait to get my chip pretty soon.

Maybe it has to do with TCS? I'll try to turn it off and try then.

what do you mean by "just before redline" Are we talking a hundred RPM below redline? If so, isn't it possible the tach is simply lagging a little behind the true engine speed? If it is 1000 below, you might have an issue. My GS will hit redline in each gear, although I haven't seen it hit it in 4th.....yet.
Put in in 2nd gear and hold it to the floor. See where the RPM limiter kicks in. I should bounce up and down right at redline as the computer cuts the fuel.

I think it was around 6500 when it shifted. I'll try again to make sure.JackRabbit said:

Sounds like only one option. We need a Seattle GS race to see if you car is as fast as mine
I noticed this the other night. I was driving my moms gs and it didnt quite redline in 3rd, although it did in the other gears.
My L sedan redlines in all gears, but only at 6250, whereas the gs has a redline at 6500. maybe the TCS prevents a 3rd gear redline

Alik,
Hate to say it, but I just tested mine this morning. Right up to the redline in both 1st and 2nd while in D4.
Don't know what to tell you.

what do you mean "right up to ther red line? does it actually shift on its own at some point at the red line, or you have to release your foot?JackRabbit said:

right at the 6700 mark, just kept the pedal to the floor and never let go....until I hit third gear since I was on an arterial street!
I know this is a silly question, but just in case: Are you pressing the gas all the way to the floor? You know that the pedal feels like it is at the floor, but if you press harder it goes about another 1/2" down. If you don't have it truly slammed to the floor, it would shift early.
Does anyone know why cars do that? You can even see some sort of black bladder under the gas pedal that gets depressed when you press really hard. I know Audi's and VW's also have this "two stage" pedal? What is the point? What is that first "stop" point supposed to be telling us?
