So interesting question on the money shift topic.....If you are in Efficient or Spot plus, notice how the car rev matches just before you are downshifting into the intended gear. Happens pretty fast. Am wondering if you were to accidentally money shift from say 3rd or 5th to 2nd, would the car over rev even before you go into second and let the clutch out because that's what you are trying to do (auto rev feature enabled)....go into second. Or it would protect against that and you would really have to be in 2nd and let go off the clutch to over rev and cause the money shift.

Hope that made sense.

Am guessing it will not over rev because there is no momentum involved from the wheels.

No, the ECU won't allow the car to overrev. it'll revmatch to the redline at the most; that's what the rev limiter is for. You'd have to let go of the clutch. I'm not going to test it, LOL, but it should get stuck at rev limiter and if you release the clutch in that gear, then it will over rev. They key is being in the wrong gear with the clutch engaged
