Default 2008 Improved Paddle Shift Auto - Any real world experience yet?
The 2008 paddle-shifted automatic is supposed to be improved via better programming and improved hardware vs. the 2006-07 models.

Anyone have any first-hand experience yet comparing the shift action? Is the 2008 auto that much better/faster at shifting than earlier year C6 autos?

Thanks!
Kent

Although I just traded in my A6 for Z06, I am interested in hearing about improvement in shifting. I won't go back, however, even though the concept and mechanics seem advanced.
