Wait ... wait... wait..... whoosh ... revlimiter.

This is why it's really hard to drive using the paddles - 8 spd auto means close ratios and you really have to keep on top of the shift timing. Lose the boost and you're in a world of pain. Plus the (gear change) lag on downshifts is a nightmare.

In short, it drives OK and accelerates like a beast if you let the auto box do everything and enjoy 'point and shoot' - but that's not a driver's car.
Has anyone seen a video that shows what @apascutia wrote?
