I didn't mean to say that the bogging is in your head, but that you may feel as though you're going fast enough to stay in 2nd gear even though you really should have downshifted. That's been my personal experience. I dunno about you, but I never have found time to look at my tach during a run, especially while negotiating a hairpin.

Of course, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that you're a better driver than me (lots of people are) and I could be way off. Really just speculating, here.

I didn't have much time to look at the tach, but I did glance at it quickly. It was at around 3-3.5k rpm.

I'm fighting with the g's to stay in my seat
We have a guy running a Lincoln Town Car (yes you read that right) and he told me how to stay in your seat. Go to housewares and get a roll of that non-slide rubber shelf liner and put it on your seat. It works GREAT!!
