No it will not, it will downshift to first only below a certain speed i.e stopped. It will also let you bounce off the limiter till the engine blows as well as torque lug your engine till the connecting rods bend if your in a wrong gear....

Not sure where your going with all this hostility. He drives a porsche now so doesn't matter.

Fuck ya'll h8rs.

And I'll leave it at that, so that ichi's girl doesn't end up perma banning my ass.

@RichardsFRS is honestly a troll on this forum, he bashes on the AT as soon as the chance arises, go through his thread/post history. For someone that touts the manual so hard and doesn't accept other options he didn't know what fuel to put in his car ("93% octane") and didn't know how E85 works("E86"), also he has a history of erroneous threads. Also he went into a TSB thread about issues some of us were having with TCM logic and started trolling there for a short period before @Cole shut him down.


This thread was about FI for gods sake and he mentions that the dude with the cayman probably had an auto and goes on a tangent , if that's not trolling I don't know what is, this thread could use a bit of a clean up

Thank you, triplets-san. Honoured to be featured in a positive light for once.

The light turned green and he floored it, changed gears and floored it again. The fucking car fish tailed and he almost lost it!! My wife screamed, what an idiot!

Ya, 600-700HP is awesome...No thanks, I'll take this little car with it's measly 200HP any day.

So.... you can't handle the power and scoff at someone who broke loose on a 1-2 shift?

Doubt it was even rolling 600-700 hp....

I test drove an early frs auto and i distinctly recall it shifting in manual mode but apparently Im wrong. Noted.

All the manuals had been sold at that time, lol.

Does it really matter if it was 4-5- or 600HP? The fucking thing took off like a rocket and he lost control of his car...

Fish tailing a little on a 1-2 shift isn't losing control but, cool!

You can shift it manually with the paddles outside of manual mode as well If its in sport mode and you are not in manual mode, it will downshift almost as if you are rev matching or heel and toeing in a manual.

If it were you would you go FI on your 86 or upgrade to a used care with more omph?

I've always been a strong supporter of "Making up your own fucking mind and thinking for yourself". Usually you get more respect from others with that method too. I like to call it being an individual.

Fun how the OP made the thread, logged off 1/2 hour later and has never logged on again.
Something tells me he may have got the reactions he was after.

You know what I mean, old man! We can compare our ricer exhausts, make fun of @Tcoat for having a bad mustache, and maybe I'll totally degrade myself and drink some of that lake water you Americans call "beer"
