SMG settings from startup?

danp · 08-10-2009, 10:04 AM

I have been using the CSL as a daily driver this week (which is unusual for me)...so been playing around with the settings a little.

What SMG settings do you use from cold?

I tend to start off in town, then onto A roads, so have been using A2 initially, then onto A3 and S3 once it warms up and the roads clear a little. Perhaps S4 once the oil is fully up to temp and I'd like to press on a little.

I do find the engine feels like it's labouring a little in A2 (or even A3) around roundabouts, so maybe I'm better in S2 initially so I can change when I like, but in a slow mode.

Any thoughts? Am I being overly mechanically sensitive? ;-)

When I used it daily for my drive to work it was S5 from the word go.

S3 or S4 all the time apart from when I'm really hooning.

S5 or S6, nothing else

S5

rest of the settings are for my wife to use
