Yes,
You'll need a "tender" foot! Or you'll be buying tires more frequently Yee Haw!
Honestly with a stick you don't do anything but get ready to shift sooner.

this is correct; it won't affect any of those.
It never throws off the speedo no matter what transmission. Only a rear tire heigth change will affect the speedo calibration on a C5.
