If you want to downshift from 5th or 6th to 3rd or 2nd instantly just do this.... Throw it in Auto mode and hammer the gas pedal. The car will automatically put it in the perfect gear in the perfect RPM range.
When cruising on the highway in 8th, I have thrown it to granny mode and mashed the gas pedal and it skipped to 3rd gear instantly! Then I threw it back into manual to start shifting.
The car is very smart guys, utilize it properly.

Just throw it into granny, mash the gas pedal and the car will do the work, then once it found the right gear, throw it back into manual.
Simple...

Here's what you do if you're cruising and all of a sudden, you need to respond to a challenge...
(Make sure you're in Sport Mode)
Gear indicator should read "D" if you're just cruising.
1. Hold '-' paddle. Gear indicator will read "D4" or whatever the lowest available gear is.
2. Knock the gear lever over to Manual.
3. Tap '-' paddle again to go one gear lower. This most times will make the car rev-match and the exhaust to blip and roar to life.
4. Hammer the throttle. Upshift at the beep. Prepare to wave goodbye.
Killed a G37 sedan this same way last night after dinner. Got a thumbs up from the driver. I look over at my wife in the passenger seat not knowing if she'd frown in disapproval, but instead, she says "That was fun!"
