Personally I find the car plenty quick enough on 'D', but switch it to "M" AND DON'T touch the paddles, and you'll notice a nice change w/o having to play the drums on your steering wheel (but only if you don't feel like it). Somewhere else, someone talked about this mode for the V8's but never really said anything for us V6ers... but we've got it too. I wish there was more about how great the 6 really is all around!
