There aren't many GM vehicles built since 1992-93 with the advent of the 4l60e transmission that don't have some sort or torque reduction or torque management. It was usually reserved for automatic transmission equipped vehicles. Many would drop engine timing advance during upshifts.
I wonder how the application of torque through a clutch as in the manual differs compared to the application of torque through a torque converter as in the auto trans vehicles?
Are the manual cars more apt to have the front end swap positions with the rearend?
Torque reductions is mentioned as part of the many nanny controls of the new Z.
