The whole point of manual mode is so I can (if I wanted) throttle it to redline before upshifting to a higher gear and increase access to torque and horsepower.
I can think of a couple of situations where it would be handy to have the FR-S do that, just like it was in the tC. So is the answer "no, the FR-S won't do that and I'm glad it won't because that's stupid" or "I don't know"? It's obviously a shifter software solution, and it would be cool to have the option.
