The no-lift shift is also a nice feature for the track. The issue that I have with the 10 speed automatic transmission on the track is that you don't have the same control over what gear you are in. Relying on the computer to do the shifting is pretty good, but there are times when I would select a different gear. For example, sometimes I find it quicker to accelerate out of a corner in 3rd vs. 2nd gear if I means that I can go to full throttle in 3rd gear early and without loosing traction like might happen if a go full throttle coming out of the same turn in 2nd gear. I also find that with torque converter transmissions, that there is a bit of delay on downshifting from when the paddle is pulled to when the lower gear is engaged.

I concur with this. The M6 is excellent on a road course.
