Meaker, are you getting your car from Hendricks? Mine just hit there inventory, so may show up tomorrow. Will have to see if I can grab it before end of year. Sounds like the manual is the bomb. Cant wait to get mine too

Yes, you can do that to. It will rev match, even when not in sport. It is more smooth, unlike when in sport mode.

I second this question. Would be useful for passing semi-trucks at highway speeds.

Basically, it seems that the only time one will want to let of the throttle in this car is... never.

So here is the video. I had to pull my old GoPro, so it's not the best quality. I did it initially during daylight, but the widows were down, and there was to much wind noise. I did it again, but it was already dark.

PSE was on and Sport off. All up-shifts were flat (no lifting from gas). Downshifts were manually rev matched. Kept the revs to 5k since it's not fully broken in. Best demonstration would be with a fully broken in car at the track.


PS: I will try to get the video of the actual foot work. May be a better demonstration of the function.

That is amazing. I can't imagine of how good that will be after full break in and red line shift. So just foot to the floor and a quick clutch press and gear change and that's it? Incredible. Thanks for sending!

Yup, flat shift. Half mile guys have been using such setups for years.

IIRC the ZL1 1LE also has this.

That is so cool to see! Thank you for sharing! If all goes according to plan, I pick my 6 speed up tomorrow!

Best Regards,

I have it on my 1LE it’s called No Lift Shift and it works perfect under full throttle.

Curious, Does it not rev up when doing at part throttle like this video?
