Ok, how about “says the deaf guy” ?

Whatever it is, I’m not sure where you’re getting that comparison from. That’s like saying my cub cadet zero-turn law mower corners like an F35 (e.g. it doesn’t make sense)

It's just a euphemism or such about the fact it does sound kinda cool. Not anywhere near a V8, but for a stock twin turbo v6, great. It wasn't meant literally...

Staying on topic, I had Goosetuned do up my 19 and the transmissions shifts are "bang" on. ;) Very Happy with it.
Slightly off topic; I was also able to increase the throttle response feel using the Cobb tuner to a point I like.
How are the Rs for throttle response on the fly-by-wire? Is something going to be needed or are they already a pretty light tap/touch?

The transmission already changes gears ridiculously fast. Are you talking about when the truck "decides" to change gears and not the actual gear change itself? My 23 sounds like an F1 car in Baja mode.

I was basing my question off of AutoVlog. He had an 23 Raptor Ecoboost, Ratpor R and TRX all in his driveway at the same time. I guess the paddle shifters actually feel responsive in the R because of the way it shifts. He made several comments about the shifting in the R vs the ecoboost.

I have a 19 and the paddles are essentially useless, they feel so disconnected from the driving experience.
