As such, I wish that while in manual mode with sport engaged, holding the downshift command for any period of time longer than a brief tap would instruct the car to choose the lowest available gear for acceleration. This would make driving in manual mode much more engaging IMO. Maybe this is something a tuner could program in?
Thats a really interesting idea. Im local to Vishnu so Ill give them a shout and see if that is even theoretically possible
