Do you mean that the revs would rise, but with no corresponding increase of road speed?

For instance, say you're cruising at 50MPH - if you push the clutch in and release the throttle, the road speed will stay much the same, but the engine revvs will die back. What happens to the noise? And what about when you leave the clutch alone and just release the throttle, bringing the turbo gauge into the bottom part? What about if the car is stationary and you rev the engine? > Are we(you) getting any warmer?? Need more info... -- Grunff
