that sucks that it shifts for you, i like the smg where you have to make all the shifts or you'll be bouncing off the rev limiter

only when it comes to a full stop it will shift back to first gear. if you are in manual mode and the transmission setting is R, it will NOT shift for you.

is it really true that you can't add on bigger wheels or any aftermarket wheels?
the myth about the car won't start once wheels have been changed?
I just don't see how that's possible
