If I'm in 5th or 6th gear and floor it, the car surges forward at the same time as the RPM starts to rise. If your RPM jumps and the car has a delayed surge forward, you have a problem. There is no computer interaction happening there. If the revs went to 5k rpm in 5th gear and there was no slipping in the drive-line, you'd be doing over 130mph.
