As for the kick-down. That's for passing on the freeway. It's for folks that want some extra power when they want to pass. It's been on all automatics for a LONG time.

Exactly. You didnt lose to a bike becuase of your shifting dude haha, power to weight is where its at. You lose to a bike becuase..........ITS A BIKE, well given that it was above 600cc's then you dont stand a chance, under any circumstances. And 1,000cc+ bikes are almost untouchable.
There are very few cars that can beat a bike off the line......the 335 is most certainly not one of them. There are also very few cars that can beat a bike at top end speeds...........again, the 335 is not of them. Try a Carrera GT, Lamborghini LP640, Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron, Lingenfelter s/c'd Z06, Porshce 997 turbo, BMW M5, and all the other super high output exotics would probably be able to do the job some where along the line, wether it be at top end or off the line.
