Advice on shifting...
Well guys:
I have nearly 200 miles on the car -- i'm anxiously awaiting the 600 mile mark and especially the 1000 mile mark.
Be honest with me -- how soon did those of you who bought brand new CL-S models wait until you revved high and floored the car?
Another question, on downshifting: I noticed that on my TL-S, I can drop to 2nd gear while crusing at 60 mph!! The TL model can't do this! Can the CL-S? I never tried when I was test driving the CL-S. Is this "ok" for the transmission?? I notice that it has that Buick Regal Supercharged feel to it and a silky smooth power advance when I drop to 2nd in 65 and mash it -- I can nearly slip past anything (minus a manual M3).
Last question: When dragging someone, when do I shift, and how do I squeeze the best performance outta my stock Type S?
Thanks in advance, Type S rules!!!!!

Why do you say you have one of the faster CL-S's? Have you compared your stock CL-S to another stock CL-S before you mod-ed your car?
Very interested to know...

Yep, kind of reminds me of people who say they are the smartest. That is until they run into someone smarter.
(Perhaps a change to "seems to be one of the fastest" is in order...)
