Yeah, yeah...but I'd almost bet that if he played with his shift points some he would pick up both ET and MPH. He was spinning the tires when shifting manually, which means the power is there but he's just not hooking it. When he let the trans do the shifting it was probably short shifting, thus no tire spin. Of course, this could work the complete OPPOSITE way (shifting way past power peak) but I really doubt he was twisting it that hard. Letting the trans do the shifting would add a measure of consistency, though.
