Yep. Extreme case - imagine launching the car in 6th gear (or, as Throttle House demonstrated, try pulling from 30mph in 4th). Gearing is the other half of the game.

Yes, you’ll have to downshift to get the most out of the S58. Isn’t that desirable for someone who bought this car to manually shift it?
