Ahh.. the SMG III. Between the wonder of the engine and the under carriage one might forget this but...

Downshifts are always accompanied with a glorious amount of throttle between the gears to compensate for negative engine drag and, aside from beeing very functional, this makes a great sound and turns heads instantly.

I drove a friend's 360 Modena w/ the F1 trans when they first arrived in the states, and the throttle blipping for rev matching on downshifts is very cool, and sounds awesome--and even more so since he had a Tubi exhaust!

Awesome car, i love the color!! congrats!

May i recommend that you get the lower dash trim? the one that goes in front of the stick and under the cd slots. I really think it looks like something is missing. It might just be my jealousy talking
