Sorry Doc, this may confuse the OP.... it did me

.... putting the auto in 1st gear and TC off and flooring the gas on lauch AND holding it there will make the car wind out to red line(or close) through each gear with NO shifting required by the driver.....

Doc is correct about the $$$$ flowing after that too....
