While you're missing a gear or rev match, I'll be pulling away from you with my perfectly shifting paddles.
Read my post once again.. The cars you mentioned above do not have annoying beeps to remind the driver when to shift or not to shift.

The IS F does...not sure about the regular IS's. It beeps at or just before redline, but the rev limiter doesn't kick in until you go past it.
