Welcome back photoman. Other people tried to fill your shoes but it just wasn't the same. LOL
As for the short shifting, You got two things working against you, traction and torque. Torque wants to break the tires loose and without traction, the computer wants to minimize the amount of torque available. Like Mr Photoman said, get some better rubber and see if it helps out, that and if you're doing spirited driving and the conditions are permitting, turn off the traction control.
