Thanks for the insight. I've been reading about the Alpina flash. I just haven't found out if the dealer can see it if its done, or can I flash the transmission back to OE if I have to take it in.

Haha! The paddle shifting on this car is slightly better than the Genesis, but still it isn't great. I'm hoping the Alpina flash takes care of this.

Also I'd like to note: I downloaded the owner's manual to take a glance at it. ITS 286 PAGES LONG! Geezus!

Check out the Accessport too, the handheld making it so easy to flash back to stock for dealership trips (or tune changes) is a very convenient feature. After using a handheld with my Evo X it became a requirement when looking for a tuning device for the Vette.
