You can also have someone tune your transmission to where it will automatically upshift in manual mode as well.

How about simply blipping the throttle to the floor for a moment in auto mode, which will downshift for you in advance, switch to perf shift mode and also hold the gear till you're ready to floor it? You'd save having to slap the shifter back to auto, which has to be done at the right time, not too soon and not too close to redline.
