[QUOTE="TurboTJ, post: 1582250, member: 33074"] The other day I was coming down a mountain pass here in CO. I usually hold M4 on the way down and M3 in one particularly steep spot. For some reason, this wasn’t working for me. I was in M3 at like 4500 RPM’s and accelerating. When I shifted back to drive at the bottom, it made a popping sound from the muffler like some unburnt fuel went through. This has happened on a handful of occasions but it wasn’t until now that I put it all together. I tried again today and found that in normal mode, the engine braking is sufficient. They must be reducing engine braking effect to reduce the chances of breaking traction. Or there is something else I still don’t understand... So now the question is, what is it doing different in Slippery mode? I would guess it’s keeping the throttle open which reduces engine braking. Any other ideas or experience? Has anyone else experienced this? [/QUOTE]
