The 6 speed auto in my Silverado is a crap shoot when trying to catch a lower gear when I pass. I think it's literally criminal how unresponsive it is when trying to pass someone. You check you mirror to pass, you mash the pedal and then.... wtf is this thing waiting for. There is a very dangerous lag time on the downshift. I can't imagine how this could be legal and it's a good case for manual throttle linkage.
