Long **** 3rd gear???

Hi guys of the c218.........

I've been wondering why the third gear holds for sooo long....
is that just the way it is?
It's kind of weird but I get on the gas, and the first two gears
cycle, then 3rd holds what seems to be forever as well and high
rpm range.....
any insight for me???

thanx

any car when you drive fatser , gears feel like longer,

but in this car it is because the high output of the engine it shifts fast due to wheel spin or sudden boost.

in manual
1st up to 65km
2nd up to 110km
3rd up to 16xkm
4th up to 220km
5th well speed limiter stop it @ 250km

if you dont like it put it back in C mode, then you will be in 7th in no time

obviously it holds the gear long as it is optimizing all the engines potential in that S+ mode, as it is supposed to be the raciest mode of them all
