How do you shift?

How many of you AMG drivers use their Touch Shift transmission option instead of putting it into Drive and letting the autobox do the work?

If you do use Touch Shift, in what scenarios?

CLK 55 AMG
I am still in my break in period, but I cannot wait to use my paddle shifters once I have completed it. Touch shift is cool too, kind of like my old challenger slap stick

Mostly for street or highway battle mode.
But what we all need to know is that going slower in normal driving makes the car looks more classy. As if I don't need to prove anything. That's what I do. I let my wheels spin, and have the music on, take my time and drive.
then people come around and give thumbs up. And we are all happy~

For drag, definitely M mode. Don't want the ESP to turn off the throttle.
