WTF cutoff at 5500

Okay I was cruising in D3 and I floored it not sure what gear I was in whe nit did it but the car seemed to just stop pulling and I didn't hear the Vtec. It was just holding at the same cutoff as in neutral. WTF I've tried to repeat this but I can't has anyone else had this? Any ideas what this is?

Throguht D4 and D5 the shift gate moves to the left from D3 to D4 i think i would have noticed if I had done that plus I didn't notice any loss of power and I was going up a bridge and should have felt it.

If it happens again, take it to the dealer. Hopefully they can duplicate the problem, and if not then hopefully they have expecience with this problem and can fix it.

I've had some strange things happen with my VSA that go away after I reboot the car. It could have been a computer burp....

Reality is that your car is a computer. Especially the CLS with the SS, VSA and Navi!!! Just like any software application I've ever worked with your bound to have bugs. So, when is the first patch going to be available for download?
