Hmmm, could it be you have big feet and you're accidently depressing both the gas pedal & brake pedal at the same time??? This happened to me when I first picked-up my VX from the DAS shipper lot (bought my VX from eBay). I wear a size 12 shoe, and my big foot accidently depressed both pedals when I first attempted to operate my VX (it scared the be-Jesus out of me).

The gas pedal and brake pedal on the VX is closer than found on most cars, and it is extremely easy to depress both pedals at the same time causing the exact same symtoms you're describing. You are depressing the brake pedal, and your RPM's race up because you're foot is also depressing a portion (catching the edge) of the gas pedal.

Try this trick: When you want to depress only the gas pedal, move your right foot to the far right side using the transmission hump as a feeler guide (this will prevent you from depressing the brake pedal). When you want to depress only the brake pedal, lift and "hover" your right foot to the extreme left to ensure your foot totally misses the gas pedal. I know this sounds silly, but it works.

Other VX'ers have said they use the 2-foot method when they operate the VX just like driving a "Go-Kart" (left foot only depresses the brake pedal & right foot only depresses the gas pedal). Hope this info helps.
