E-Shift Tricks

Hello All,

So I know how to use E-Shift decently, but just wondering if some of you have some tips & tricks... In the manual it says to release the gas before shifting with E-Shift. Is this really true or am I misreading the manual? It seems like you would lose acceleration if you had to release the gas, press the shift button, and then gas again.

Also, I have noticed when in automatic and flooring the car sometimes it is delayed in response, it seems to not have a good power band in lower gears. When using E-Shift It feels like I can get more power out of the 2nd and 3rd gear with E-Shift. Anyone know, if in fact if the car does 0-60 faster in E-shift or if the optimal 0-60 is done vai the computer [ Automatic Transmission.] Thanks for the insight and comments.
