Question for Auto Guys

Unless I am downshifting to keep revs up (above 2000) I generally let the car handle downshifts. Sometimes I still double downshift when I misjudge the RPM drop though - I wish it showed the new gear immediately, like it does when you press a paddle, so you get a little more warning it is about to downshift.

I love hearing the exhaust note when you downshift. Should be even better with a CBE/HFC
