On the other hand, braking hard while already in performance shift mode will make you go through all the gears and if you need to brake immediately for any reason in performance shift then good luck

Easier to just quickly blip the throttle to the floor, it works like a switch. I wouldn't want to activate performance shift mode any other way.

Cornering very hard does the same, and it has to be quite a hard corner, I thought Id driven the car pretty hard at times but in a year of ownership it didnt happen until the other day when I felt one corner I took was way too sharp. Turns out, I've probably not even used the car for 90% of its capabilities.


As for the thread, something I noticed the other day (that, after checking, apparently many sport cars have this nowadays, but I didn't know about this until recently), the headlights have a small camaro logo on them on the side. Pretty cool detail.

Not any more. I believe the 2018 was the last model year to have that.

I'm sure many know about this, but the rev match downshifts on the A10 are my favorite thing. Don't expect any type of decent mileage if you do this everytime you brake, but downshifting and keeping the rpms around 3-4k gives you a lot of exhaust pops/burble.
