Ok guys....I've gotten like 10 PM's asking for more details. It would just be easier to answer every one's questions here so then we can all be on the same page.

I owned this car over three years and it has been my daily for the last 2.5 years. I drive the exact same roads everyday- stop at the same lights and sit in traffic just like everyone else. Here is what I have noticed so far- granted this is just me but its the best feedback I can offer right now....

My car parks in my garage at night but my driveway has a slight slope that i have to climb every morning when i back out. Before the DCT software, it would creep up the driveway in reverse. Sometimes I would have to give it more gas than normal just to get it going- not anymore. The car is very smooth backing up my driveway now- no increase in throttle is needed. I just give it a touch of gas and it backs right up smooth- no lag or hesitation. I then use to have to bring the car to a complete stop and then put it into drive. There was sometimes a very slight hesitation after going into drive before it would move forward. I've noticed that has went away.

One of the lights that i stop at every single day on my way to work has a very slight incline. Once I was stopped, the car would roll back a little and then stop and slowly move forward- it definitely moves forward with more force. Before it would roll forward about the same as it would backwards- now it moves forward more aggressively that i have to put my foot on the brake to stop from hitting the car in front of me. I noticed that the next day driving it to work.

I've gotten several asking about rev matching and if there is any difference in the throttle blips- Yes. It hard to describe- but it does it so smooth now that its at that perfect sound level every time? I've actually scared myself when the car has rev matched since it sounds like a violent crack of a whip when I'm weaving in and out of traffic. My catless exhaust also contributes to that but I love the way it sounds when it gets that perfect high pitched gun shot sound next to a car full of high schoolers.

Overall this is the best mod I have done to the car. I drive it everyday so I can appreciate these differences from how the car has behaved since I got it vs what its doing now. I've literally feel in love with the car all over again!!
