pelked1,

Nice write up - the SRT is much too expensive here in the UK easily $55K new and very few used to chose from for obvious reasons!

Seeing as you have been putting the auto box through its paces perhaps you can answer a question about the SRT auto. My XF auto will auto change even in autostick, if I run up to the redline it will change, is I am traveling and select 3rd or 4th, and slow to a stop or near stop the box will change down to first of second as I move off again, same on the SRT?

When you say the auto shifts too early into the next gear, under what driving style do you find that happens - as I said above I find that under full throttle the XF changes at the red line, otherwise it does change up too soon and often for my liking.

Thanks again for a write up that says what the XF alter-ego is like - very few SRT drivers have actually said so much about how the car drives.
