I know that I did cringe a little bit when guys didn't shift the way they should. Keep the revs up reasonably, shift smooth, and don't burn out the clutch by riding it.

Not many people have a chance to drive a Fcar. Seems like a good opportunity to me! Go for it!

And yeah it's kind of like traction control, with a few more parameters thrown in the software mapping to control more than just the driving wheels.
Well, one of the things I want to do before I die is drive a Ferrari, but I'm not sure he's actually willing to let me drive it. Honestly, I'd be a little scared to. I have no doubt he'd take care of any damage he did to my Boxster if it happened. I don't think I could afford to fix much on a Ferrari. But I'll be excited to even go for a ride in it. This is his third Ferrari and he took me for a ride in the other two and it was a lot of fun.
