There seems to be a plethora of opinions in this thread, and a glaring lack of experience...

I've used my C6 behind the Cobra's 521 (and the same behind my Zephyr's 557) on the street and at many race courses including Daytona, Sebring and others.

I simply put it in D and use the throttle and brakes as needed.

Never had the first unexpected shift or any other misbehavior. Not sure where the speculations about this came from, but clearly not based on experience.

Got over 43K on the Cobra's auto without a hitch....

Trailing throttle oversteer happens when the engine speed is too low for a downshift. Simple as that.

Had to be said!
