Spent a couple of months in Erie a few years back, may be called the mistake by the lake but have to love those side roads. Magnaflow sounds great too!
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I'll record another one of just a cruise along the lake Erie shore in North East. Going through all the vineyards while the sun is getting ready to set is awesome.

Question about your use of the paddle shifters. I've never learned how to truly use them to their effectiveness. Do you just shift without lifting your foot off the throttle, or do you lift it off as you would with a manual?

I know...kind of a noob question, but have always wondered the best way to use them.

I normally just let off the gas pedal a bit til it goes into gear makes it feel like the closest thing to a manual transmission which I miss. My favorite part is downshift, normally if you do that in a basic automatic you're jerked since car is now adapting to a lower gear after its engaged where in TL it Rev matches before it switched so it's a smooth downshift almost as if you were a skilled driver in a 6 speed.

Thanks. I have never let off the throttle while shifting but will try that today. I've never liked the response the way I was doing it so maybe this will be better.
