Hi,

Thank you Chris for posting your observations and the video links to the tests. It demonstrates how important it is to drive safely and not rely on Technology as a crutch. My brother and I have put almost 2,000miles on the M923 since getting it back in Sept. of 08' and have operated in many environments from the most urban streets and traffic conditions, to rural and offroad in all kinds of weather and never had a problem. If you have to emergency stop just pump the brakes quickly and you'll be fine.

Having the Torque Converter remain "locked up" in 5th no matter what is a huge factor that leads to stalling, loss of steering. I guess if you wanted to be extra careful during bad conditions the driver should keep the shifter in the "1-4" position to prevent Tq. Conv. lockup.

I do agree with members here that stated the video tests were executed without using the scientific method

Attached are some photos of our own testing at the "proving grounds."
