    My 2024 is much quieter and smoother in spinning up for light engine braking than were my 2010 and 2012, despite having a larger engine. I need the tach to be certain.

    That is so 20th Century. Those of us quoting engine-braking RPMs here for various operating conditions, have used the 21st Century method, which as Chap noted, was available in all U.S.-market cars a handful of years before the 21st Century actually arrived.

    Most people don't have to prove themself to themself.
