Yep. It drives me nuts. And when NOT driving hard I'd obviously appreciate better fuel economy. It should be possible for light driving shifts to be right on time AND hard driving shifts to be where we want them. Or, as I had suggested to him, save the really aggressive stuff for Agility mode and tone down S and C mode close to stock shift points (but keep the shift feel firmed up). I am quite happy with the latest rev to TCC behavior as well.

+1 for the zerocat101 TCU tune. I have ran a stage 1 tune and most recently the SLR tune. Very well sorted upgrade!

How are the downshifts when coming to a stop?

I can't even feel my downshifts unless in M mode of course.

Same here, nothing to draw attention or concern.

I am with SIC on this as well. Downshifts when braking to a stop are not even noticeable unless you are in M mode depending on what speed you downshift at.
