Shift light on an AT7?

Dark Sarcasm

when im under full throttle in my AT, the trans shifts WAY faster in manual mode. My 7AT will go from 1st to 2nd faster than I could shift it was a manual. Barking the rear tires, under full throttle, in manual mode is not unusual. There is a slight, 1/2 second delay from the time I hit the paddle till the shift. Its the same at higher
gears on the highway, the upshifts are very quick in manual mode.

My brother in-law has an 05 Vette with paddle shifters. I drove it when he first got it. He explained the paddle shifters are more for holding it in gears around corners, not really for fast upshifts. The Z trans is different. He drove mine and couldnt believe how fast it changes gears in manual mode.

This isnt a manny vs. auto thread, but for you MT guys out there that havent driven the paddle shifters yet, I highly suggest you try them out. It may not be what you want for your own Z but I think you will be impressed with the 7AT performance.
