No I'm not experiencing that on mine at all...my paddle shifts aren't super lightning quick or anything but they are pretty fast.

The computer on this car learns your shift habits in "D" only. What I mean here is get out on a safe road & thromp the s#*t out of it, the response will be better. Or you can have the car tuned, new programs out there now improve the shift by eliminating torque management, I had it done a few weeks ago & it will tear your a#* out. breaks em loose wildly from 1>2, hard chirp from 2>3 & sometimes small chirp from 3>4 but I do have about 385 hp at the rear wheels.

Dealer should have no way of knowing, and we are in Tampa.

Bosco, just contact by e-mail or even pm Chuck CoW and he will give you a quote. I was one of his Beta testers. I do know the price will be reasonable and worth it, especially for the SOTP dyno.
