why cant i "rev" my engine?
i have noticed on my gf's civic (an auto), when in drive and on the road, if i quickly press the gas, it'll rev up a little bit....i dont hold it to the point of speeding up, just to rev it and make noise
yet when i try to do this to my truck (also, an auto) it doesnt do that...it just kinda makes noise....
i know i wouldnt be able to rev it like a 5 speed, and also w.o a chip...
i was just wondering why? all the sensors on my truck wont allow it?

Well it thinks you are trying to go faster, so it is going to downshift.
I don't completely understand you're question, but I think I notice the same thing, like this:
I once detailed my neighbors Mercury Sable. It had the high performance whatever, 24-valve V6. I was going down the road at like, 30 and I floored it. Engine went to 5,000rpm, and THEN the tranny engaged. Like, the engine got it's power and then BAM, set you back, like a delayed reaction to a joke and a retard.
So...in my truck...I would hit it and in the current gear it would take off, but then after a half second, realize that, "I need to downshift", and then it would. You have no chance to make the engine rev first, as it does what it does.
I don't know man, you have a truck, not a sports car. Why rev a V6, anyway? lol

Would by chance be the Torque Converter on the Honda allowing a lot more engine "reving" withiout transfering that power to the transmission, where on our trucks it is not allowing as much free wheeling in the torque converter and it's going right to the transmision?
