Ah cool. ok thats fine. That actually might be a good thing. so you can basically get on the gas 95% and it still wont downshift but if for some odd reason I just NEED that power flooring it past kick down will downshift... Not bad. I like I like... should I get a 550 sports Auto Rudy?

I'm confused...
I understand how to get it in manual sport mode -- I use it 100% of the time.
What's your point?

+1. Were you travelling like 40mph when you floored the accelerator...
I don't remember what speed but it was probably 40-50 mph, it went into the 5500-6000 rpm range.

No point. Ever hear someone say "stick the pedal to the metal" or "I f***** her like the bitch that she is." I know people know how to depress the accelerator petal and they know how to have sex- just rhetorical statements. An insult was the furthest from my intentions.
