I dont know if its necesarily staying with the peak power rpms, but its a lot smoother where you dont feel the hard shifts of a conventional automatic. With the paddles you just have more control to keep up in the higher rpms.

And on the NADA thing here is their prices.
Rough trade in | Avg Trade in | Clean Trade in | Clean Retail
$14,000 | $15,150 | $16,075 | $19,025
