Ferrari Mailing List: Re: FerrariList when joined?

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

2007 was the last of the F1 boxes, so mine is a ZF automatic.  Sport
GTS model has faster manual shifts, aggressively blips the throttle on
downshifts.  Also has a push button muffler cut out (the Sport mode)
that makes it quite noisy.  Much louder than the Ansa equipped GT4.
Pops, spits, crackles on lift throttle.  Neighbors are not happy when
I drive it.

Even more off-topic:  If you ever need back surgery research the crap
out of the available surgeons.  I spent weeks doing that.  It really
makes a difference.  Mine spends a considerable amount of time fixing
other surgeons' screw ups.

Hans.
