The problem with spirited 7AT driving is late braking for a corner and being sure you've downshifted from 5th to 2nd keeping an eye on the apex and not having to look down at the read out to be sure the computer let you do what you think you did.
What I need is for (should I patent this thought?) the automatic to have a manual mode SHIFT pattern, a drive by wire shifter to go with the d-by- wire throttle!

Come on aftermarket!!
just quick glance at the gear your in and count the downshift pulls.

see 5 pull 3 times. done.
