For CVT shifting to L won't exactly shatter the gearbox on the spot, crusing at 110kph is only 2.8k RPM so there is still room before hitting the rev limiter (5,750 RPM), so the TCU may still allow it.

The concern is it may cause undue stress to the gearbox and coz premature wear. We all know how sissy CVTs are  brows.gif

lineartronic CVT dei, that thing shrugs off stress and downshifts as if it's a manual XD
(oh and that boxer grunt when you downshift wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif )

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=62614864 another write up on the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R

QUOTE
eh review on speedfest experience put on hold a bit, work etc, lacking time to write lol.

anyways yesterday was on the turn in towards duta flyover from jln kucing (it'll pass by solaris dutamas with all the government buildings/quarters etc)

as i was speeding around 100-110km/h approaching the sharp'ish corner (most stock standard car can easily go through that corner at that speeds while still maintaining on a single lane) the vehicle in front was a little slow so i had to hard brake a bit (unable to overtake too as both lanes are occupied pretty much, and it'll be left lane overtaking which is wrong anyways) and somewhat expected, warning signs/instincts popped up that my rear's about to slide.

funnily enough, instead of cadence braking and counter steering back to slow down + straighten the car, i instead had the gut feeling to check my side/rear mirrors, confirmed that the whole 2 lanes are clear. at this point, it's as if the tires are telling me: "this is nothing, keep going!" and so, i listened - gradually increased the throttle, the rear swings out further, and i'm basically going side ways with my car occupying 2 lanes and i'm looking ahead at my passenger side's a-pillar.

this only lasted a short mere 3-5 seconds or less, at around 90km/h or so, but DAMN the adrenaline rush!
as i slided further on the left lane (again, that fly over only have 2 lanes), the car on that lane is faster than the car on the right where i was initially at when i started to slide and was pulling away leaving a gap between himself and car on the right lane.
in the end i basically slide out to the left lane, and counter steered myself to straighten the car as i cut in to the right lane finally exiting the fly over into duta highway.

that was just... fun. REALLY FUN!
even until the next day (today as i am writing this) i couldn't believe what i have done and it was a pity i did not have it all recorded down. even unbelievable was that the confidence that was instilled within me, it would have never happen EVER on other tires even on the Achilles 123 semi slicks i used to had.

thinking further it could be actually scary, as it's probably a matter of time before i got too over confident and got myself burned for it sad.gif
well, let's hope that is not the case then sweat.gif
