Sorry, was in a frustrated mood when I posted that. Didn't mean to be so harsh. Hopefully a TCU tune comes out someday and solves this problem for us

I don't think we will see this. It is there to protect the motor and I don't think I would make any changes to this. You blow a v10 and you'll need to drop some serious cash to replace it.

Correct. However, there is nothing wrong with hitting the rev limiter... I was not suggesting removing it. Rather, I was suggesting letting the engine rev to it's limit and then bounce off it.

Yesterday i tested manual mode and found that whan you use paddles in D mode to switch temporarily to M mode - the manual control is very limited, upshifts too early, and gearbox automatically back D once you drive easy. But if you switch to manual mode manually by **** - it works much better reaching critical RPM and wont switch off to D.
