re: #102 Blind Frog Belly White

My Challenger has the old Mercedes Benz NAG5 automatic from when Daimler Benz owned Chrysler, and it has lovely aluminum paddles for shifting, but if I just leave it in Sport mode, it generally shifts when I would. Except making left turns from a stop. It always hits second too early.

Oh, and it’s too anxious to get into 4th on long freeway on ramps if there’s someone ahead of me.

One feature that annoys me on the stick shift is that it has a “fuel saving” feature, so if you’re quarter throttle and going about 20 mph, it sends you from first to fourth. And it always finds a way to kick in at the worst times, like when I’m in line turning onto a freeway on ramp. Or it does it in relatively stop-n-go traffic where I can’t get the RPMs up to suit fourth gear.
