basically I just want to make sure I'm not going to overstress the engine somehow by paddle "shifting" to gear 1 (when I'm going 15 mph in gear 2) and then gunning it right away up to 80 MPH all in D mode.
I'd rather not "experiment", I'd rather just get a straight up answer. Is this an ok sequence?
0-->15 mph along a turn (while in d mode) car auto shifts from 1st to 2nd gear
i paddle shift down to 1st gear, then mash the accelerator.
will the car go 1st-->2nd all the way up to 75 normally?

Well guys I tested it all out today and I must say I love S mode, it has solved this "problem"
More importantly, I decided to test out ECT PWR mode and holy **** I LOVE this mode, the automatic shifting is much more suitable for aggressive driving when in ECT PWR.
In fact, ECT PWR solved the "going into 2nd gear too quickly" issue all on its own and in general I just love it.
Yeah it eats up more gas but I'll live with it, that's what I want anyway. I'm not interested in "saving gas" to be quite honest although I will say normal mode does a great job in gas saving (~22+ MPG with driving in normal). I'm going to guess that with ECT PWR it will drop to 19 or maybe low 20s.
