It's a smart auto, no doubt!

Wow, I didn't know that either. I was always scared to test it out thinking it would hold the gear and break something. I kind of suspected since it really wouldnt shift until redline on hard launches even tho I tapped the stick to upshift. Good to know for when I go to the track.
