Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari 458 Pics

[E M (pokiebaron]

I was watching some vids on YouTube of the new Nissan Z370.  They said the
new standard stick has a feature that "blips" the throttle for you during a
downshift.  They spoke as if that was a great thing.  Isn't blipping the
throttle when heal and toeing what half the fun, and challenge, is all
about.  Nothing like the feeling of matching the revs just right as you roll
off the throttle between a double declutch, and then catching a lower gear.

It's one of the few great pleasures you can still enjoy in a road car,
without being ticketed or sent to jail for. hee hee.
