Tonight while in Corsa I stomped on it and held it to just past 8k rpms and shifted. I was expecting it to shift to 2nd by itself. So I either didn't go far enough or my assumption is wrong.

I thought someone, maybe Turbo Mike, said it will shift by itself at or close to redline when in Corsa mode? I shifted because i didnt want to hit the limiter. Anyone else try it?

I believe only when you launch it.

Normal driving: Sport mode will shift for you if you bump red line (I let it do this at long, empty on-ramps all the time). Corsa will not shift for you, it will hit redline and bounce WAAAA-WAAA-WAAA (I have accidentally done this a few times in a low gear).

Launch mode: Corsa will shift for you after the button and pedal sequence. Sport mode you have to shift manually after the button and pedal sequence.

^Agree: Never did launch mode but in CORSA (regular - non-launch) it hits the rev limiter and you must manually shift or back off the throttle. Doesn't matter what gear you are in. I did this a couple times on the track. It doesn't "hurt" anything - the rev limiter is there to protect the engine.

Only after launch mode in Corsa.

Launch that thing and have some fun!!

On a totally related topic, nice avatar Russ!

What about Pre-LP E-gear cars? If I don't launch and hit redline, rev limiter kicks in until I act, if I do launch, it'll shift for me? (Sport mode both cases).

Thanks, I got it now. I usually hit from a slight roll, so if I'm in sport mode I can just stay on it and it will shift automatically before it hits the rev limiter. My problem was I didn't launch it from Corsa I was rolling along.

Dargbnik,
I know it's showy and self centered, but I couldn't help myself!

I was about to say the same thing. Russk, those girls are distracting!

Bringing an old topic back, but I have a related question:

Will the e-gear (lp and pre) prevent shifting back to a too low gear/overrev range, in all modes?
