" A bit of re-education is all that is required. There is absolutely nothing 'wrong' with changing down a couple of gears when additional torque is required. That's exactly the purpose of a manual gearbox - it enables the driver to select the amount of torque delivery that is needed to provide the required power characteristics on any given situation. "
Lol.....well put Tim. Unless you drive a 3.0 Roadster.....one gear drop ....but then it's more GT than Sports.

It's not just manual boxed sports cars though....both my auto box ones dropped a couple of gears if you put your foot down hard....in the case of the Cayman, not that hard.
