While leaving my storage unit a few weeks ago (1/2 mile straight paved private road, flat as can be), I decided to lay into the SRT a bit. I had the car in 'D' as I punched in the code to the gate. The gate opened, I rolled through, then nailed it while shifting the car to '1' at the same time.

I believe that right around the time it was going to down-shift itself into 1st gear, I ALSO hit the shifter trying to get it into 1st. When I did this, the car pretty much went to neutral and hit the rev limiter for a split second until I got out of the gas and hit the shifter again.

Has anyone else ever had this happen? I could see it happening at a light or somewhere if a car pulls up to you which you dont suspect to be a potential competitor. You take off leisurely (in 'D') and the other car guns it. So, instinctively you drop it to 1st at the same time you floor it - then it free revs?

Just wondering if it has ever happened to anyone else. I was under the impression that this thing was pretty flawless in design and 'idiot proof'.

I tried to make it happen again, and it wouldn't do it.

This was before the Sprint Booster, for the record.
