I quite like the "engineering explained" channel but he missed a more important point on his white board calculations. Piston "acceleration" is a greater factor in piston/rod failure than piston speed. You can have 2 engines of the same capacity bore and stroke at the same RPM but with different piston acceleration. It's generally the piston acceleration that tends to do the damage.
Modern sports bikes are pretty much covered in regards to money shifting by the use of mechanical slipper clutches. Car manufacturers could do the same if they wanted to but it's probably not worth the engineering effort. It is nice to approach a corner at full attack on the brakes and just bag it down the gears and let the slipper clutch do the work though.

Searched and couldn't find the answer, but if you down shift and it will over rev/money shift, will the car give a warning light and sound so you know not to let off the clutch?

This feature is in my VN, was wondering if iMT for the Supra has it. Thanks!
If you're asking that question you shouldn't drive a manual. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
