Go into first, let the revs get high, then second, then third so on.
The ratio between gears is different and a manual is still better. But like let's say I'm going 100 km/h or 60mph
And I punch it, it takes a couple of seconds to downshift, but if I put it into 3 myself booom it's gone.
I think that the strategy biker taught me is good for auto's, what do youthink?

I really hate to be mean.... BUT that IS WEAK !!! When I had my probe I had a OD button it was great, basicly it wouldn't let the auto go into forth.... for up hill and such... But if you were at a light and wanted to race you would hit the OD OFF button and tromp the Gas .... the RMP Would hit EXACTLY 6495 (right before redline) rpm before shifting .... NO Worries .. Then I could Hit the OD button again to get into forth.


And No so far on my Civic I've only had it up to about 5000 RPMs ..... hehehe I forgot I was suppose to shift ....
