Anyway tips on using the autostick, most likely there is an old thread?
I've just been using it on the srt-6 in city driving, I guess it would be fine for when the highway has alot of traffic.
Does it make sense to use it when u are going over 50 or 60 at a steady pace, or for fun? I get scared if I downshift it might mess up the tranny like the manual says and what happened on my 300m.
I heard on the "almost shot at" post that the guy downshifted to 3rd when he was already at 70, so how does that work.. do you brake at the same time?? then take off....
What are you trying to do? Are you trying to drive it like it is a manual transmission, all the time? Some of the time? If you're looking for a sportier shift, Ive found that a "throttle reset" and pressing the warp-speed button at the bottom of the gas pedal provides good performance.
