How Often Do You Use SportShift?
Jus wondering if majority of people drive mostly with sportshift or just in D5. I like drivin with SS cuz i can keep the car at lower gears driving and keep it from shifting too fast.
Is it stressfull on the engine at all when engine power brakes the car at lower gears?

I use SS a lot. There's not a whole lot of mountains here in Michigan, but I still enjoy being able to hold the gear through turns, and holding the gear to pass someone, race, whatever.
It just depends on my mood, though. If I feel like a speedracer, then I use SS. If not, I just leave it in D5 and drive around all grumpy.![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Engine braking affects not only the engine, but the entire power and drivetrain. If you're in mid-range, then it would be alright. But don't let it wind down from 6000 RPM or anything.

Drive fast & swerve
i use it when i'm messing with someone around town or on the highway, or just in one of those drive really fast and obnoxious moods, otherwise I'm pretty much in D5 all the time.
