I've got an '02 Accord V6 auto. It's actually my wifes car but I get to drive it if I'm good.

It's a great car, runs awesome, and shifts ok. There's nothing "wrong" with the way it shifts, I just don't like one particular situation.

Coming into a corner, say a green light, and I'm going to turn right making a 90deg turn. When I get back on the gas as I'm driving through the corner, that's when the car decides to downshift. From either 3 or 2 to first. What the F#%*? Why isn't it smart enough to downshift as I'm coming into the corner? I want sportier shifting damn it! :rant:

Are there any mods to improve shifting performance/sportiness? Chip? Flash? This "problem" makes the car feel kind of :ghey:
