Does it have the "Sport" feature like the P5's ATX?

soooo... the 3 and the 6?

(I suppose you could have been including other market models)

oops forgot the 8

excluding other models...makes it fun to own a atx and feel like your are realy doing something. I'm assuming you are referig to the V6 6 speed...

I've never found the "sport shift" to provide any entertainment whatsoever... lol

still shifts like an automatic, has an annoying delay, overrides your position and downshifts for you, and you have to actually look at the gear indicator to remember which gear you're in, you can't simply feel the position

it's awkward, annoying, and absolutely no replacement for a manual

yep, that pretty much sums it all up, but if you are driving a lambo robotic tranny or BMW SMG than it's another story
