For some reason i think my car will accelerate faster with my overdrive turned off. It seems to go faster and have more power when sitting in lower gear. I have an automatic and when its turned off i sit at 3k rpm in 45 mph when i usually are at 2k with overdrive. has anybody played around with it? its like when im in bad traffic i shift to lower gear or turn off the overdrive.

Overdrive (when off) doesn't allow the automatic transmission to engage 4th gear. This helps when overtaking or towing up a hill. I prefer ECT mode for better acceleration at lower speeds.
