   I don't think seniors citizens are concerned with shift schedules.   
   If they are then they have problems other than when they have dinner.

   My last sports car was the 1986 Mazda RX7.  I presently have a Honda   
   sedan (senior citizen size).  All cars today can go fast, but why   
   would you want to go 90 mph in any car?  The cars may be up to it, but   
   I don't think most of the the drivers are.
