Default Slight thread drift but it may be of interest to the Tin-man

I hope I didn't just clear up the fact that I'm out to lunch on this!
As far as the trans being able to accelerate or decelerate the car - that will happen if it decides to change gears (up or down) on its own at any given RPM.

I have to admit that I am genuinely curious though about the hows (and whys) of flogging an automatic Cobra around a road course. Can the transmission ever be programmed to be intuitive and flexible enough in determining when and why to shift, or do you just come to anticipate that it will shift based on your throttle input and adapt your driving style accordingly?
