When driving a non-svx, do you find yourself doing this?
 
While driving my girlfriend's car I'd always lift my foot off the pedal then floor it as if to put it in power mode.. :rolleyes: :)

True!! especially when driving a Toyota Rav4 (for my GF) in an uphill!

:o Everytime I drive my fathers Trailblazer SS I try to push the clutch in when stopping. (Both my SVX and Nissan are 6-speeds)

No, but I find myself ducking my hand down to avoid hitting the nonexistant piece of glass in the window when I throw something out.

Once in a while i reach for the upper window while resting my arm on the door and become briefly confused when it isn't there. When I get into lower cars, I find myself twisting in an odd manner and I think it is because I was used to squezing under the steering wheel while sliding under the safty belt :) I have reconnected it since, but still grab it even in the svx..

i did for a short time in the LGT out of habit, but it actually goes when you hit the juice pedal. :D :p

LOL. It's a Caravan. No matter what you do nothing happens. Well, I guess with the amount of body movement and weight transfer in the 06's it's easy enough to squeal the tires.

I've noticed that there are some cars besides the SVX whose transmissions respond similiarly to the "double tap" to activate "power" mode. Sure, they don't flash a cool green light at you to let you know what's going on, but they still work the same. Can't remember which makes/models; I drive upwards of 20 different cars every day at work. I can say that the ones that do it aren't all users of the 4EAT.
