No way could I be that accurate or fast.
I am not talking about using the paddles either.

I love the way this car downshifts!

Same here. It’s another reason to drive in Sport+.

Try driving Porsche's PDK and let us know how the NSX trans compares.

At 7mph you should just be all electric...
Stay out of manual mode and sport+ in parking lots.
I’m in sport + mode 90% of the time. So the car wouldn’t go into electric mode then.
With the computer programming this car has, I don’t see why it can’t go into 1st gear at very low speeds, especially in sport+ or track modes.

Interesting as I can honestly say I've never noticed mine lugging and I am in sport+ 99% of the time.
That brings to mind a video of Randy Pobst driving a Porsche a while back for whatever magazine test that he's a part of. He had the car in auto mode and it seemed to be doing a good job up- and down-shifting, except that when he got back on the gas after a corner the car downshifted right away. Basically, the car's decisioning on downshifting left it in too high a gear for proper acceleration.
The actual individual gear shifts that a PDK does are very nice, though.
I think when Heavymetals added "I am not talking about using the paddles either" they are talking about the shift points the car picks in addition to the actual process of changing gears...?
