Default 2013 GS in Competition Mode question...

mn6 car... without magnetic ride control.

I read the manual and it is lacking information.

I assume if the front wheels are straight, with the clutch pedal all the way in and I swiftly go to WOT... it should hold about 4000 rpm, until I release the clutch for a launch... but here's the question: Does it also have No Lift Shift, as long as I stay in WOT? I could not find this in the owner's manual.

I have "no lift" shifted with the launch control on.

Meaning, I did all the things to allow you to hold the gas petal to the floor, let the revs settle in around 4k, dumped the clutch, never lifted the gas, popped the clutch, grabbed the next gear, and kept going, thru the 1/4 mile run. I shifted at around 6k, and the revs never went above 6,500.

It sounded mean, barked the tires good between shifts (it was on Orlando Speedway drag strip), and I only did it once, because I did not want to find out what happened if I missed a shift.

I'm thinking the rev limiter should protect the engine.
Should...

You're keeping us in suspense. What did it run?

Haha, it was not good, it was my very first run at the track, and my GS for that matter. My mph's were OK in my mind, but you can see the times are way off.
