Back to the topic at hand, has anyone ever noticed that first gear short shifts at 5500rpms in S+? Was just perusing some old vids I took and saw this. Maybe a lower shift point is the best for acceleration.

I still believe on tuned M157s that S+ mode is shifting faster than S mode. Are people really thinking that S mode shifts at the same speed as S+?

interesting ... could this shirt shifting also be prevent the Mct from exploding?

all the data I have on this m157 seems to suggest that if it was in a car with a beefier trans ... that car would be helluva lot quicker than this 212 amg
