American passengers in the back would go "Yee Haw". The Chinese passengers didn't worry. They had fallen asleep as soon as they had fastened their seat belts.
Used it in 'anger' a few time sin Nigeria too, aided by a boot of right pedal as you lifted so you could pull some more Tq. Not helped by having engines that hit the N1 limits more or less the same time as the Tq limit, just to make the scan more interesting, and your left thumb on the N2 beeps busy...
