SRM is just a feature. If it was meant to prevent damage and what not and if that was its sole purpose then why have the option to turn off or on. The 7at downshifts no different when referencing the rpms at which you drop down into. And they have no option on that, all computer controled. When you get good at it, it is just second nature, you dont even think, just react. I am still trying to get the left foot braking down, that is not something I try on the streets. Been known to jab and not press.

When you get good at doing it yourself, you will find the flaws. Even humans mess up sometimes though.
I was only referring to on road performance except my last comment regarding warranties. I definitely understand where you are getting at. Being Military, we train until it's muscle memory. SRM doesn't always like to engage 1st, but in every other gear, even a race car driver will fail more times than SRM. Every notable magazine has said this. When watching video's, almost every one I've seen has the driver using SRM. Yes it's still considered a novelty, but I see it as being the standard every manufacturer moves to now that it's been proven to enhance the experience for most. Be happy ours is defeatable The Cayman M6 is always on.
