When paddle shifting instead of tapping 2 or 3 times to downshift.....simply hold it in and it will select lowest possible gear and bark at ya

I was told the same thing when I bought my C6Z. Not sure if it is true, but I do it.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I park my car geared in reverse most of the time just in case.

Has anyone else heard of this?

in M7 if you're stopped on a hill and lift your foot off the brake it wont roll - the brake will engage for about 3 seconds allowing you to shift in peace without having to juggle the brake and gas pedals.

The shade pattern on the rear window is made of tiny C7 logos.
