A concept that we've not brought into the thread yet is "Target Speed" established in the EMS2000. I don't know how this works yet, but I do know it is how the computer accelerates the car. You may be seeing it established, and re-established, in the exercise you doing.

In concept, the computer is picking a "target speed" from a "map" of parameters, based on the throttle position you select. This is one reason why the car dosn't like to be driven with lots of throttle adjustments, you're forcing reset of the point on the map (and everything else affected by that point).

In your example, you're resetting a higher performance Target Speed, and the car responds by trying to get you there ... quicker?

I can't wait to prove this stuff out with documentation and testing.
