    So, I got the chance to drive a Cobb Tuned WRX with Flat-Foot Shifting. All I can say it was a blast to drive.
    So now my suggestion. If will be nice to see some sort of Flat-Foot shifting on the Sunburst as it seems to have the same sort of style a WRX has with rally configs etc.
    I have tried to code it myself but to no success as I don't have the time unfortunately to test and play around with the code as my finals are coming up for my 1ste year.

    What Flat-Foot shifting
    FLAT-FOOT SHIFTING allows you to keep your foot flat on the accelerator while changing gear, so as to minimise gearchange time and keep engine speed and torque up in preparation for the next gear. It is also possible to adjust the torque to maximise power when engaging the next gear.

    You can already do that tho, just turn off all of the assists and use the clutch manually.

    "Flat foot shifting" often refers to a driving assist that is essentially a rev limiter that engages when the clutch is in. Allows to keep the throttle pinned while not being as bad for your drivetrain as WOT shifting a regular manual.
