I got mine to skip 8mph in first gear. 28-36mph before I had to shift. But that was just straight full-traction acceleration. No wheelspin.

Skipping 10mph+ is mainly the result of excessive wheelspin straight off the line. My old car did the same thing. It would jump straight from zero to almost 30mph after regaining traction.

Honestly, I've only skipped about 3 or 4 mph.

I know this isn't technically related to Honda or anything "tech" related in general.....

but in relation to this thread I found a perfect example of how cars "skip" mph during hard acceleration/traction loss.

Occurs at 00:34. Granted your car will probably not jump like a Supercharged Mustang.....the concept is still the same.
