So you eliminate that problem where you hit the paddle and it won't downshift and have to keep hitting it.

Based on this video, I think the automatics could use that feature. It really just doesn't want to downshift, even with there being enough revs.
Was smoking tire the guy that did the podcast with some early info?

Yeah I think he said it took him a while to acclimatise in automatic to the track mode rev display. It doesn't want to shift down a gear until your around 4k, which is so close to the edge of the display because of how its constructed (with minimal 0-4k area).

I think once you got a handle on it, you would be totally fine.
