It shifts at 9k rpm regardless if you use LC or not.

i drove last nite with sport button on and the TC on as well trying to get use to the car, when letting it shift on it own it seemed to shift at 5k or so, does the TC need to be off, thanks

If the ECU doesn't detect you "need" power, it will shift sooner to conserve fuel. Were you full throttle when it shifted into 5K?

TTS and the other non GTs in “sport plus” setting won’t upshift until near redline whether you are full throttle or not. That is probably what you are referring to

In GT3, if you press “pdk sport” button it will still upshift like a normal car, it just holds the revs a little bit longer than if pdk sport is off

Also in Sport the GT3 won’t “kick down” if in a high gear when hard throttle is applied. It prevents the car from getting unstable.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but do you have photos of your 912?
