Also, I realize there was an issue initally with the rev limiter and that it has been addressed by EC.
You should never ever ever down shift mid corner and only up shift when accelerating out. If you're leaving it in auto mode you won't have any issue since it'll shift at a lower RPM and is less likely to do much tranny braking.

If you're driving in a straight line and shift at redline it shouldn't kick sideways. You just don't have enough horsepower to overpower the tires.
