"...left foot off the accelerator as fast as you can." Don't you mean clutch?

Yes he does. I can rip a mean second gear chirp with DR's.
The factory rev limiter still works with no lift shift. You don't lift off the gas pedal; just stab the clutch. It keeps the car in boost during the shift. He meant clutch. |

Why does the back of the car have the 2014 ass and 2013 front end?

I use that technique all the time (keep the gas pedal on the floor, stab the clutch, and shift quickly), and have been doing so for decades, when I want to get the best times out of a car. What did they do to the ZL1 that's different?

If you're quick, power shifting is something all M6 guys are used to at the track; I guess you have a bit more time to do that without it hitting the rev limiter with this system. Does it use the same setup of dropping fuel to cylinders to keep the rev's from rising as in the launch control?

Is this only in the ZL1, or is this in the SS as well. My previous car had this feature and my 1LE SS won't be ready for delivery until the end of next month. I have been wondering if this works on the SS?
**EDIT** I saw the previous post so I assume this is something specific with the M6 transmission which would mean it will work in the SS model??? |

With the no-lift shifting , the engine maintains it's rpms when you push in the clutch, preventing it from just climbing right up and hitting the rev limiter no matter how long it takes you to complete the shift.
With the conventional method of power-shifting, if you shift fast enough, all is good. If you miss a gear, the engine will continue to rev right on up. |
