But that is a whole different discussion.

I really don't think this car will be a shift at redline in every gear type of car, but at least it should for the first few shifts and that more important than the latter ones for sure. Given the more F10 M5-ish torque curve and gearing and a 7600-ish redline, something has to give and that something is not shifting at redline.
Just for the sake of it, could you run a simulation with the following gear ratios:

FD: 3.15
1: 4.25
2: 2.57
3: 2.03
4: 1.60
5: 1.27
6: 1.00
7: 0.75

I am curious to see the acceleration curve it would generate. I am guessing a very smooth curve (except for the 1-2 shift) with progressively decreasing acceleration as the speed increases. Again here, just wishful thinking on my part .
