Put the car into drive. Slap the shifter left. Now you're in drive sport mode. push up, or pull down to enter manual mode. Downshift when you want more acceleration, upshift whenever you want. The car will not let you over rev the engine, so you don't need to worry. It will upshift for you if you hit the rev limiter, even in manual mode, and it will not downshift if you're going tofast.
