Roll the J-gate around that is.

While cruising at sustained highway speed a stab to half throttle doesn't seem to drop her into third as I'd like so I've been playing with quick shifting into 3rd and the response and acceleration has been good; I can hit third gear redline. Also while highway cruising in 6th gear in normal mode a quick flip to 5th and back to D is all you need to break overdrive & get some passing speed ... no need to really even press the pedal. Keeping her in 2nd while stuck in traffic is also a nice way to utilize engine braking and reduce braking & shifting.

How do you guys use the J gate if at all?

 

LOL! Chris, you little "SHIFT"! Ya got me this time. I filled my hushka pipe preparing to read an interesting thread. Going back to bed. Bye.

 

Sometimes around town I will switch it over. Makes me kinda think I have a manual again.

 

I do exactly that because then you know when and how it's going to shift. I'm not a big fan of the automatics own decision methodology.

It's really great for "Zig Zag" maneuvers too ...

 

I do it often....like to put other cars in place from time to time

 

For just a moment there I thought that question was from a different decade.

And the answer was never.

 

That's putting it "blunt"ly

 

Rolling the J is the only way to "smoke" the competition.

 

Not ture

 

Before we all go "bongers" BASTA already!

 

Lol!

 

I can only blame myself for the lack of serious replies!

 

My STR isn't able to "vaporize" the competition anyway; something is making it "take a hit" in performance (as illustrated in previous threads)

 

No it's a joint effort. I did ask people to stop but it appears that isn't going to happen. So you'll just have to weed out the non-serious replies while you hash over which are the good ones. OMG I'm making myself sick

 

Doob...er..I mean Dude...yer killin' me

Maybe we could all be "kind" and get back to the serious topic by oh, let's shoot for 4:20....

 

Ah the joys of automatic motoring. Now with a manual box
I just press the clutch move from 5th to 3rd and we're off, even in a lowly 2.5
Have you not got the "S" button to use, i,e, sports mode.
That should help you show a clean pair of heels!!!
Compliments of the Season to you all.

Yep, the autos have S.

 

Original topic? Oh I don't remember. I gotta go I'm really, really hungry now.
Looks like I missed the deadline by 6 minutes. Ooops.
