Okay, that's about what I figured. On the old Knight Rider they did this at least once per episode and there was always a puff of tire smoke when the car transferred to the ramp. I never thought the actual car would have an instant acceleration, though in re-reading what I wrote it does come off that way. Just that the wheels would have a reaction to trying to travel at 33 when the rest of the car is doing 3.

Thanks for the replies.
