Default Shifting issues/question

Hey all,

so I just got my C8 non Z51 about 3 weeks ago! And I absolutely love it! That being said, i’ve noticed recently that when I am in a higher gear maybe 6 7 and eighth gear at a highway speed between 55 miles an hour and 60 miles an hour and I give it a hard acceleration, the car does not accelerate any quicker it continues at the same speed normally it would drop a few gears and take off, but it just sits there and doesn’t speed up. is this a problem with the transmission ? a bit concerned as it’s only 3 weeks old and has 1265 miles.

thanks all!

No, I’m in both Sport and Z mode

Never had a DCT mid engine sports car. Maybe it’s normal 🤷🏻
