Unless we have some input from a GM test driver we will have to wait for a full test by a particularly insightful magazine writer or commentary from a Stingray owner with an A8 in their new car. I have asked about the manual reaction time in several of the "hey I got my new car" threads on the C7 section but they hadn't responded to the question the last time I looked. Perhaps posting this question in detail in the general C7 forum would meet with more success than I have had asking my question.

If you are talking about the automatic shifting without paddles it will most likely be significantly different in the various driving modes.
