Nothing beats the machanical sound of a firm downshift on a warm summer night with a slapstick equiped car!
Click ,click,from the shifter ,chirp from the tires, and rpms up sounding from the pipes!

The "brain" in my 300C always shifted way too early on the upshift for my liking, and no-where near red line. The gain is the faster acceleration in the lower gear at higher rpm. I havn't had my Chally long enough too check it out,(I went offshore to work, one day after I got it) and see if it needs to be done, nor am I suggesting that it be done. I am merely pointing out that it can be done.
