I love when popular Youtubers do this kinda thing with our car.

EverydayDriver did the same thing going uphill in the mountains for one of their videos. Like, you could even see they were in 5th gear going 45-ish mph (give or take) at like 2k rpm or whatever (it was obviously in the torque dip), and I remember asking about it on the channel comments and their producer/editor kept defending them saying they were just trying to show the dip to prove how slow it is. *eyeroll*
