With my old MKS, it would snap my head back and chirp the tires on the 1/2 shift. With the Continental, I actually feel my head dip forward at the shift like power is cut. They both use the same transmission so I am hopeful that we can get the Conti to shift more quickly and firmly. With the Continental's gearing, it has to shift one more time during the quarter mile than the MKS and each time it shifts, I feel like it is cutting power. That hurts ET.
I do think the Conti is making more power than the MKS, though.
