7AT throttle lag

In that case, yes I'd leave it in D and wait 2-3 seconds for the tranny to downshift. Just how I interpreted it.

I agree 100% with what you posted above, 2 scenarios with the same end conclusion!

I've actually banged the rev limit trying to accelerate quickly in a traffic situation.

And THAT is the reason why I leave the car in D 90% of the time, and I wish the car had a sensor when flooring it to go, oh, the moron driver is in M, in 6th, moron driver needs to floor it, I'll downshift for him

Also, weren't you and I just talking about this on another thread?

SOLUTION: Stuck behind someone, tap the left paddle and it'll automatically go into 5th or 6th depending on your speed. Then you get no lag and you can easily fly around someone and slingshot. Shake & Bake.
