I will read up on "rev points" but I will give you an example and maybe you can help me. Im driving down a road with the paddle shifter engaged, im in 5 cruising but im coming up to say a red light right turn so i need to slow before right turning back into traffic. my foot on the brake triggers my hand to wanna downshift and thats when i get that VROOM that seems to stay. i get nervous and then kick the shifter back into normal driving mode and then proceed to make my right turn and accelerate back into traffic. The VROOM sounds incredibly mean and sexy, but again, the rpm's shoot up along with the roar and i then just push the shifter back into normal driving mode. So in short.....im driving....i need to slow down so i downshift....the engine roars...i get nervous.....i move the shifter back into normal driving mode quickly to relieve my anxiety lol. I am really depserate to learn these because they look incrdibly fun on a weekend night cruise around
