Does your 3rd gear shift happen just before 60mph?
When i do a race start and WOT run for 0-60 or more my car seems to always shift to 3 gear just before 60mph....the shift to 3rd happens at around 54-55 mph it seems.
Are you guys seeing that as well?
seems that slight delay from 2-3 gear hurts the 0-60 time just a bit (not that 0-60 times matter's much in the big picture) but curious for any feedback.
