Okay, so I was right about automotive journalists being morons. Go figure, right? On a more serious note though, I'm slightly confused about your last sentence about going from 1st to 6th. You say that SRM isn't going to try to match the RPMs to 200 rpm and stall your car. Well, doesn't that go without saying? SRM only blips on downshifts, not upshifts. Right? Or have we just uncovered yet another behavior of SRM that applies to some Zs and not others???
