im not exactly sure what happened...my brother too it out for a spin ( thats the last time thatll happen ) but he claims he never downshifted...dont know if to believe him or not but he did say he took it to redline in 2nd .....i will be takin it to the dealer pretty soon but is there any way i should expect full warranty coverage or just plan on paying for it?....the car is stock but the transmission was acting a little weird on me but it was the same problems many other r owners have.if anyone can shoot me a clue or it would be great..till then takecare and dont let ANYONE take your car
