Are you talking about the car refusing to downshift if a downshift would take you above redline? Working as intended

Your question is confusing, please reword it.

Are you trying to downshift while in a gear @ 5k? If you are why would you ever wanna do that. The car sounds smarter than the driver

sorry for making confuse.

I am noob to ISF, I test drive from my friend. I drive evo ix at the moment, I always down shift before connering because i want the engine brake and give me the best rev during the Conner, even after.

I just can't do it in a ISF, maybe I'm noob to control it? Or it sets cannot be downshift when you over4500-5000?

Well, drive the car again in M and Sport mode, post your new experience.

Is English your first language? I thought a caveman was writing this lol j/k

To answer your question we make 371 lbs of torque at 5,200 rpm. No need to down shift at 5k like what your saying. Drive the car more and get a feel for how the power comes on

We shouldn't even have to say this. This should be just plain knowledge about our car

DCB, the guy said he was a noob - cut him some slack! It sounds like the issue is that he's not used to an 8 speed transmission. If you're running 4.5-5K going into a corner, you don't need to downshift. When you come out of the corner your shift up is so fast in the ISF, it doesn't cost you anything. And I agree with the comment above about the flat torque curve; you don't need to downshift to catch more torque.
