Default Re: Auto Stick questions

I have found that it is TOOOO easy to get it to hit the rev-limiter and nose dive the car. When going 25-30 or so and tapping the stick left two times to get into the lowest possible gear (most likely 1st) and right after the second tap flooring the gas. The upshift at redline will be missed and the rev-limiter closes down the power. This is disturbing because the only time I do this is when trying to accelerate AQAP. Just flooring it is sometimes too slow to react or it only downshifts 1 gear. Seems like the smart transmission allows it to go into a lower gear than it can react to if too close to the redline when upshift is needed.
