Would definitely be on the shortlist if I had to purchase new tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure - he mentioned the "sport shift" is good for downshifts, but it upshifts on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if it does upshift by itself it'd happen at redline which only really makes it worse for skids most of the time. Some more digging needs to be done.

Could upset corner if you're forced to put in a downshift at the wrong time or go round in a higher gear. That said - would depend on how smart the electronics are. edit: went back to check out the vid to look for just that: Check out the vid at the corner just after the 7:05 min mark - he comes out of a corner and starting to go into the next when the car upshifts - throwing the balance and approach out - pretty sure he wasn't looking for, nor ready for that gearchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just lifted off the throttle and that rpm dip would have been from the torque converter not being locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
