Manual shifting sucks unless its an actual standard transmission or a Dual Clutch Automatic where you get instant gear changes. When you have to compensate for when you want it to shift beforehand that gets tricky. If it shifts for you, well thats just annoying. If it doesn't, then you have to be sure to hit the paddle before you hit the redline and it cuts you off.
Pretty sure that when you hit redline it just drops out the throttle, don't think there is actual fuel cutoff until a few hundred RPM after redline, if you magically manage to get that high. I know in my car at least (not an ecoboost), if I watch APP/TP and I put it in L, it will rev up to my redline of 6300rpm and the throttle will just drop way out to maintain that 6300rpm. Same thing if I hit my speed limiter of 110mph. Throttle drops to about 30% even though APP is still at 100%.
I gotta get my car tuned just to help the dreadful throttle response and pesky limiter.
