Q1: When using the steering wheel paddle shifters to shift, should I momentarily left off the gas slightly while shifting, or is it OK just to keep the pedal to the medal while shifting?
Q2: Which is faster 0 to 60, someone paddle shifting this car model, or letting the automatic transmission take care of things?

Q1: full throttle and don't lift off. The computer takes care of everything.
Q2: Good question... if you let the Auto do its thing, it runs the engine speed up to 7000 rpm but the horsepower starts to fall off after 6,400 rpm. I think someone using the paddles and shifting at 6,400 would be fastest but I have no instrumented test to prove it.

Thanks for the info. Very informative.

If you compare it, make sure in Auto, you use Launch Control

Thanks. I'm definitely going to wait until my break-in has been completed for that trick.
