Default Auto Lag

Any pointers on getting rid of the kick down lag? From a highway roll, Im already at a 2 car disadvantage by the time I hit.

Swap it out for a stick shift? Or more likely it's the weight of the purse in the passenger seat slowing down the shift. . Ha ha.. from what I understand an aggressive tune clears most of that up

Tune the transmission or hit the gas early.
