Not sure if it matters but I have the Renntech HHT.
Yeah maybe race mode in 2020’s are different but I’m my 18 Race + Auto it’s holding gears all the way to red line

TBH I drive my motorcycle most of the time and when my truck gets here I'll use it more. Not sure if you guys have noticed but the AMG GT cars are not great for moving lumber, sheetrock anything bigger than a bread box
I definitely haven't tried moving lumber or sheetrock, but I've moved a few hundred lbs of mulch in mine.

The car adapts to your driving habits, so until you do a reset, it will be a bit different for everyone.

A bit...yes. This guy claims it shifts normally in Race Mode.

Mine won't hold to redline in all gears, specifically the lower ones, because I often short shift when using Race Mode in town. After a reset it does though.

I believe that leaving the battery unplugged for a certain amount of time will do it too, but may also reset things like seat memory.
