Well guess what, I AM sure that is correct. Until you've delved into the electronics and programming behind how the car operates and have compared the readings from the PCM compared to the readings on the gauges, you have no clue... I've adjusted the transmission tables to increase the shift pressure moderately and lower each shift time to an average of 0.100 sec. My car shifts precisely at the point it is set to, every time, quicker than anyone could throw their hand forward and wait for the transmission to respond to that movement and decide that upshifting is a good idea at that moment.
Car lengths and "sticking side by side" on the street are no accurate comparisons.
