My dealer told me that it is standard for the XLR's RPM to go to idel whenever steping on the brake. I find that I have to completely rely on my brakes even traveling down the mountain with no engine compression to assist. Is this true?
Not mine. The car has a lot of engine braking when I'm going down hill, or when I'm comming to stop. If you're going down a mountain move the shifter into manual mode and put it in 3rd gear, if things are working correctly the torque converter will stay engaged.GaryXLR said:My dealer told me that it is standard for the XLR's RPM to go to idel whenever steping on the brake.
