I happen to enjoy and prefer vehicles with three pedals, but I can say from personal experience that a Ford AODE, 4R70W, or 4R100 will hit hard enough to scare passengers when you drop a gear at highway speed. A Chrysler 45RFE on the other hand will make a lot more noise but basically no braking effort when you downshift.
