Default found a new trick w/ the tip...

most of you already know when driving in tip mode from a standstill to approx 10mph the tranny will automatically shift from first to second gear. from what i've read in the past- when you tap on the downshift button (-) *twice* and step on the throttle >50% it will downshift back to first until it skims redline and shift into second.
out of curiosity i wondered whether it would do the same thing if i tapped on the downshift button *once* and step on the throttle >50%. it works! no longer have to double tap.

i wonder if they chaged it for the 01's? or was it always like this?

It pegs the redline in 1st if you floor it anyway. Why the hassle?

Default I don't think it has anything to do with the taps. Its all in your right foot!

Try just pushing the accelerator more than 80% in second and it will downshift for you to red line.

Default Um...just hold the tip botton to the down position and floor the car? WHy bother with all the "tap"

and +50% stuff. If you want to downshift, hold the tip down, floor it and it immediately downshifts and accelerates away.

Default er..how about just flooring it..the car will autoshfit into 2nd if >80% of the pedal is pushed.

if you floor it, it'll skip the autoshift and redline ;-)
