Can the S650 10R80 be tuned to skip more gears?

not in a bad way the car is holding the higher rpms because it thinks you may want to accelerate quickly again same under heavy breaking in sport or track mode
after a few seconds it will upshift if you dont hit the gas hard

another thing it does in those modes is not shift when turning to avoid unsettling the balance in a corner
Yes, I like that feature... great for curvy country roads.

I was reffering to the too much pedal comment..lol (is that possible?)

no i took it as he was just talking about the holding rpms
Correct. The throttle mapping is different in sport mode. Its front loaded to feel more responsive. So if you mash the pedal in sport mode the same way you would in normal mode, the car thinks you want to keep the RPMs up and it wont up-shift right away. Thus "hanging in a gear".

You have to soften your pedal input a little bit in sport mode to avoid this. Once I learned how to adjust my foot to the throttle mapping, the car adapted and I doesnt hang in gear much at all anymore.

Hence my comment about "too much pedal" and drive mode.
