It is really easy to drive in 6th on the highway when wanting to me more aggressive and simply slapping the paddle twice when wanting that power to make others cry


If you take it easy in the auto mode you won't experience slip. This is at the highest shift setting I am speaking from. I'll play around with D a little bit today in a lower shift mode to see if that changes anything.

I totally understand the wifey concern. Honestly it is an issue that should be talked about a bit more as it has prevented me from letting friends and family drive my car who only use auto. I sit in the passenger seat terrified of feeling that slip lol. On the other hand, it works as a great excuse to not let some people drive my car. I simply tell them the auto mode doesn't function with the engine mods done, sorry
