Really dumb 7AT question, is there a sport mode?

You paid for the auto to shift gears faster than you can. Not the other way around. If you have to shift it constantly yourself why not get a manual?

.........that's your argument? im lost at this point.

I don't think you full grasp the concept and reason of the 7AT transmission paired with paddles and slap stick on the console.

I want to shift and control my gear selection but I rather do it through a better, faster, better tech option.

I make every single shift in my AT up and down (aside from 2-1 that's terrible for it) and I DD the car.

I'm not talking to you at this point.

My simple legitimate question about lack of sport mode turned into an e penis "I shift myself because D is dumb" measurement contest.

I got my answer. Carry on bsing about my driving skills and my noobness

I haven't said you couldn't drive. but then again never seen it so who knows.

and it is not a penis competition about shifting or not shifting.

it's simply saying the ECUTCM is good but not the best. for best results do it yourself. I don't get what's hard to grasp from that statement.

if you're not happy with how the car reacts in auto then drop it into manual and have at it. if not get a different vehicle.

I give advice on what the car can do and is possible in a thread titled "Dumb question...." sums up the controversy now I guess.

Pretty much every AT in existence sucks at shifting around town unless your throttle inputs are perfectly in tune with the driving conditions (because throttle input controls the AT shifting). And no one's throttle inputs ever are.

Shifting input is much easier to control, hence your recommendation

Do elaborate where it turned into this. Clearly this e-thugging is directed towards me as you've quoted my posts. So clarify please.

FPenvy

nah I do believe it was directed at me lol

Ahh, read it the wrong way. Either way, WHO CARES .

Take away from this thread.....Z needs unicorns farting out of the exhaust.

Everybody has a different style of driving. Some prefer a manual, some an auto, some like to shift an auto manually.

When I had my 7AT Z it spent most of it time in auto. But it was fun to drop into manual mode and swat the stick (or flick the paddles). Could I shift better than the TCM? Hell no! But I didn't care - I was having fun.

If you don't like the 7AT, maybe a Z is not the car for you.
