I thought off road mode keeped you in a higher rev what am I saying it dose. It dose take some getting use to. I think what happens is it also stays in the same gear longer so if your in 3rd that is what's going on but it will also keep you in 2nd longer befor the shift if your romping on it. I really didn't mean anything by my comment other than it is possible. Try a take off and see for your self it's fun. Or is it becose it takes all or most of the guess work out of driving. Do a lap in orm next time you get a chance and let me know what you think.
