What's nice about all Beast 55K motors, is that you can drive them like slow, normal, fast and of-course Get-Away "Bullit" fast. Greatest Torque from the beloved Charger.

I drive in S/S2 mostly, but sometimes in C/Comfort in the winter time.
BTw, in Comfort mode the tranny does start off in 2nd, then it quickly locks up the converter which can feel like a shift, especially on cold days. You can actually go WOT from a stop in C mode and take 2nd gear all the way from 0 to 80 mph if you want. As long as you don't depress the kickdown switch it will stay in 2nd. The convertor will not be hurt in the least, trust me.

I believe it goes S-C-M, so when you press the button once it goes to C, then press it again and it goes to M. If you're stopped and go from C to S or vice-versa you can actually feel it shift while sitting still.
