stopped, engine revs
Does this happen to anyone else?
I am in the habit of driving a stick, so when at a stop light, the clutch is engaged, and my foot is barely resting on the brake. Just need enough to keep from rolling.
In the TL-S, I am at a stop light, and applying pretty much the same pressure....well, the car is clearly stopped anyway. Then, I am not sure if the condensor kicks on or off or wtf happens, but the car will surge a few inches (my light foot now applying more pressure), until I press harer on the break and stop.
Maybe I haven't driven an auto with this much power before, but it's wierd to be sitting there stopped, foot on break (if ever so slightly), and the car to surge.
Happen to anyone else? Or should I just be more aware of it?

thats normal, just use more brake pressure. when the compressor kicks in the computer bumps up the engine rpm for a sec to compensate for the added drag
