The turbo overboost certainly aids acceleration while driving at speed, but what about from a standstill?
Would the quickest acceleration times (0 to 60 mph) be obtained while in fully automatic "D or "S" mode, or perhaps by manually shifting from 1st to 2nd to 3rd gear (perhaps 60mph can be achieved while still in 2nd gear?)
I haven't gotten out a stop watch yet, but it seems to me that manually shifting (with precision) would result in the quickest possible times, as one could maximize the RPMs.
Or is this overcome with lower shift points, but max torque with the overboost feature?
I suspect it is all academic, and a 0 to 60 run (while fully stomping on the accelerator) would be virtually the same under the three options...
Curious as to persons thoughts and/or experience.
