So what’s an SMG? Does it have a clutch pedal?

Nope. Paddle shifter. That’s the only thing I don’t like about this car. I’d much rather have a normal 5 or 6 speed. I know SMG is faster in pretty much every way, but I still don’t care.

Forgot, it also has launch control. ugh.
I really do want a transmission like that in the next car I purchase.
Diving into a corner in that car has got to be so brainless.

nvm, I just found all my answers…
SMG does protect from overrev. (For example, if you’re braking hard for a turn, you can just blindly downshift until it finds the lowest appropriate gear.)
Also, you can shift at full throttle.

it protects you from “skunk-reving.”

SMG doesnt protect from over rev by switching to the next gear, you can bounce off the limiter, it will however not let you go to 2nd gear @ 80mph
yes you can shift @ full throttle, doing so @ redline the car shifts in 8 miliseconds

> **[Shift time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_Time)**

> Shift time refers to the time interval between gear changes in a transmission during which power delivery is interrupted. This is usually in reference to motor vehicles but can apply to any gearbox. Reducing shift time is important in performance vehicles or race cars because during shifting the vehicle is rolling without power to the wheels. Shift time in a manual gearbox is dependent on the driver but in automatic or semi-automatic cars the electronic or hydraulic mechanism must be tuned to min...
