Hey, so if youre in sport mode, going for gold, the AT will NOT upshift at WOT at redline? It bounces? Really?

JWillis72

No it will let you bounce off the rev limiter until you shift up.

It will down shift when forced to keep from stalling but at very low RPMs. On a track you must do it manually to attack corners or you will be in the wrong gear almost every turn.

Huh....I can hold mine at redline, but if I keep it planted it will upshift.

FPenvy

probably due to the fact it's a different car.

I mean that would be my first guess.....

LOL!!! Yea, just never really thought about it till now. First auto I ever owned. Well besides the wifes Volvo.

JWillis72

I have a tune that will only do 60mph and only 4000 rpm (my son took the car to prom) and even in auto mode it will bounce of the rev limiter hard if you floor it because the rpms are not high enough. In the first couple gears it almost violent when it hits it.

I remember that thread!!! LOL!!

Yes. One of the best features! And one of the reasons i chose the z over a genesis and Is350 .




Also don't let off the gas when you up shift. We have a "no lift shift" :P haha

wait, the current gen IS350 shifts up at redline automatically?

I have a 2014 3.8 Genesis Grand Touring, 8 Speed auto. I THINK it does in sport mode. Like I said, now Im second guessing myself.

critical

well the older (like last gen ones, 2012 etc) one did...not only that it wont shift when you click the paddles. say if i were 1-2k below redline and shifted to cruise the vehicle, it'd hold the gear thinking you wanted to redline it.

it was honestly useless.

not sure if the brand new ones are any different but i doubt it.

yah, it's one of those toyota's car for everybonehead philosophy..

my friend sold his z for the rc350 f sport. he really likes it. i don't know the paddle situation though. think the engineering explained youtube guy covered it a little in his video

It rides well, my friends FSPORT that is. Its quick, but $50K its down on power IMO. My genesis walks it. Handles pretty well too. Interior is...so so. Has the red leather seats, not my thing and its the only option on the FSPORT. Tech is ok, no where near what i have though. Its pretty though!! more than I can say for my , ahem, genny. lol.

Firebase99

Its a wonderful car!! for $50K its a terrible disappointment....
