For years now the manual Vette does gear lockouts to force you to skip shifts to higher gears.


As much as you have the 3rd petal, it's no different than a paddle shifting auto.
It has gear lock out (skip shift) for fuel consumption purposes. The C4 introduced that tech. I doubt many inexperienced drivers buy 600HP MT Corvettes. Just a thought.

This whole thing is probably thought up as a way to reduce driver-intended clutch abuse on lease and rental fleet 'Vettes.
