wondering about the auto shift

The only other tiptronic I ever used was 968 cab which I loved. I think it was the first car ever coming with a tiptronic tranny.
Still when I was down-up shifting, it would do it immediately without a lag. With the Clk it takes awhile by the time you shift until it responds.
Would an ecu mod or something else improve this?
Btw I am already dreaming of the Kleemann suspension after a few weeks of buying the car

EFF YOU JACKIE
The auto-shift is a little slow yes, but with the adaptive transmission, the more you use it the quicker it will get. It remembers how you drive, so you can always "re-program" it.

The 968 had a more adaptive race bread transmission, so it was faster and more responsive. More F1 style.
