458 Speciale Mannetino Settings

[430scuderia1]

Does anyone know the full difference in the settings. Had a play today and looked at the manuals and they don't say much!!

Wet?
Sport?
Race?
CT off?
ESC Off?

All i could work out was daily driving, sport feels the smoothest. Race makes it noisier and the gear changes harder. Not exploited the limits yet to see where the traction limits are...

[AndyGarton]

The last two are traction control off and stability control (+ TC) off. Race is your standard road mode if you're a driver rather than a poser (!), unless you need to be quiet (although high gears and low revs in race is still pretty quiet). I think "wet" might be for the ejector seat, so avoid that.

(Also press the "bumpy road" button unless you're on track!)

Don't forget "race" setting and no "bumpy road" button for speed humps.

The settings can't adjust the spring rates, only the damper rates, so affect only the speed one can attack speed humps at not the size. I've not noticed any problem with speed humps in any setting.

The 'wet' setting certainly did a good job of catching the car in the wet when I overstepped the mark at Donington a couple of times (neither provoked by throttle) - barely had time to get any opposite lock on before the electronics kicked in and the car was straight. Still not sure what it actually did, was all over in under a second.
