'08 manual. This rev limiter is getting really frustrating. I had a CTS w/a 5 speed and almost identical hp/torque. That taller first gear would have helped here. Easy enough to say shift earlier, but nothing else I've ever seen comes up so quick, and nothing else takes the wind out of one's sails like having the car go brooooomfff with the nose 7" in front of the Camero (but would I still be 7" in front?).
