obviously you dont need to downshift to pass. but if you needed to suddenly gain speed quickly to, say, get out of the way of a runaway truck, stay in 6th gear and see how that goes.
watch this video from 1:35. that car has some serious low end. Clarkson puts it in 5th gear from a stop and look how quickly it gets up to speed. Its called having low end and a nice powerband.
