Faster downshift in 16 GT W/Auto

[REVTMOLO]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there is a way to improve the speed of downshifts in a 2016 GT. It shifts great when I'm going up through the gears but it seems to take it's time if I put the pedal down and it drops two gears. To be clear, I don't think there is anything "wrong" with it.... I think it's perfectly normal to shift the way it does. I'm just curious to see if there would be a way to improve it.

I don't think it can be changed, but I thought I'd ask here since I didn't see anything anywhere else on it.

Shift speed can be improved somewhat with a tune, and certainly make it more responsive. But's not going to be drastically better, it's still an auto that has to react to what you're doing after you think of it in your head.

Get a tune and IMO use the paddles more to your advantage if you want more instant torque when you hit it. Preempt what you want to do by putting it in a lower gear manually, then hit it in that gear.

Install power pack 1. It works great. awesome downshifts and improved response.

Interesting. I am looking at the PP 1 and 2 now. Seems like I would be better off just spending a bit more and going PP2. I'll have to see what's left in the coffers after the car comes back from the Graphics shop, but it certainly seems like it would be a good investment.

it's all in the tune you can adjust throttle/ characteristics it helps a lot
