MT suuuuccckkks in traffic, but I got the MT also for "health" reasons, being that it keeps my left leg busy and not going numb/burning.
Which car creates orgasm in traffic anyway. Traffic always stinks.

A 2-1 downshift is done at a few miles per hour, usually while in traffic. I can't even imagine a 20 MPH downshift.

Good on you for choosing the MT.

I thought about it this morning, I guess I did downshift 2-1, but you're right it was done at maybe 1-2mph. I was almost stopped.


I don't think that counts.

Neither do I but I don't want to start a riot around these parts.

Do the AT7 guys downshift 2-1 at higher speeds as the OP stated?

I've down shifted countless times coming to a light going under 10-12mph...sound nices too. I enjoy people quickly turning their heads and I know they're asking themselves "is that a manual or auto?"

Also I was preparing myself for my GTR next.....
