But it’s true more my fault than the cars fault. But in this situation where I’m not planning on slowing down until he decides to stop. This was really a wtf why is this guy stopping, and it wasn’t an unexpected like emergency stop he was slowing down like normal people do when they turn but he just decided to not turn for no reason whatsoever. And didn’t help that he drifted towards the shoulder which is a pet peeve of mine if you are turning left there’s no reason to swin out right, it’s not like he’s driving a tractor trailer and needs extra room to turn or anything.
I can’t help but think if it’d be different situation as above if I were in a GTi with 258-TQ at 1500 rpms instead of our car with maybe 80-TQ at 1500.

You would not have been able to use that torque in fifth gear even though it was there.
This is why you down shifts as slowing down so that you are always in or close to the right gear for the speed you are going.
