A8 Paddle Shifting improved

[flyboy999]

Hey guys,

As with many of you, the only thing I've had a gripe with about my car is the speed of the paddle shifts. I've always been a strong proponent of keeping all the nannies on in both my Viper and Z07. BUT, I recently discovered that the shifts in the Vette seem much more direct when the traction control is turned off. I don't know if tgat reduces the computer's workload, but it's better. Try it out and tell me what you think.

Interesting observation... did you discover this during your winter drives?
Imagine that car on snowy roads with no Nannies.
Joking aside this will be an interesting thread.

I turned off the TC out of curiosity to see how it effected full throttle shifts at redline because it was really intrusive when the higher gear kicked in and the car tried to cope. Now it just surges forward and the delay doesn't seem as bad...
