Using the paddles in my Challenger, it's instantaneous, or at least if there's any delay, it's undetectable and is probably close to the ~160ms spec. I think your shift spec for your A8 is close to the same so I don't understand why there would be such a delay in initiating the shift??? I would suspect tuning (maybe TQ management) could correct that?

I don't want to start a war I like the challenger too but from what I've heard from mechanics is that dodge Chrysler trannies are horrible in the long run... but no car is perfect.... two dodge cars I owned tranny fail, one at 41,000... and I don't abuse my cars
