How to use the ss (the right way)
Today i was out driving my dads tls the temp. was around 35 degrees, if that mattered, any way for the seamless shift you must accelerate, then as you shift lay off the gas, then right back on the gas, i did this three or four times and if you time it right its like an f1 car......almost but its a lot better than just having it floored and shifting..........
maybe i just shifting the right way now

heel toe. Seriously... I use it commonly in manuals that I drive.
But, it helps a lot when using SS and downshifting. Nothing like
that horrid jerk when you go from mid rpm 3rd to high 2nd. Toe
on the brakes... give a little gas... ds into 2nd and you're in nice
and smooth.

All I do when downshifting (while braking, as in a turn, I assume) is to lay on the brakes, and tap the SS knob about 1/2 second before I expect the shift to occur. Right before the shift actually takes place my foot is already off the brakes and back on the accelerator. If you do it right there's no jerk. If you want to e-brake that way, just take the pressure off the brakes for a split second as the shift happens, then lay it on again. Works every time!

But, that 3rd to 2nd shift is way too hard for maintaining a fast line.

Granted SS is a lot of fun, but none of these manumatics give you the control of a true manual transmission.
