Haha I didn’t think people still retained that ancient knowledge of motoring success. The good ole days of weak 4-cylinder cars and trucks, when you’d disengage the AC to get more power to go up a hill or something. I’ve met several people who didn’t know it was even a thing.

I still do it on our 2011 Subaru when merging onto a highway.
Subaru’s are a meme
I mean most cars are 4 cylinder. (Aren’t they?)
Most modern 4 cyl cars are better than old ones. The engines are more powerful and the car lighter
Engines are more powerful but most cars are the opposite of lighter…
They might feel lighter though because tyres are so much better now.
Many more recent cars will do this automatically at high throttle conditions, such as acceleration to pass.
Far out
That’s still a thing for old cars like mine.
