Man, I could absolutely blast my shifts in my old DSM. I had gotten the tranny and shifter setup where I liked them, and I programmed a clutch cut into the ECU which made shifting even better. According to my datalogger I shifted in .2 seconds, or less- the 4 Hz resolution of the logger wasn't good enough to pick up my shifts, most of the time it just jumped from 6500 in one gear to ~4000 in the next. One of the best compliments I ever got was when I did a pull down a back road near my friend's house. When I pulled into the garage one guy unfamiliar with my car asked "hey, is that thing an automatic? I couldn't even hear the shifts, just instantly from one gear to the next." I was pretty proud of that one.
