My car has two shift modes. When I get LT's in I will have it reprogramed so drive is more civil and sport is more agressive.

Btw all the clutching and shifting probably wouldn't hve helped either.

Sorry, that makes no sense! Having had food poisoning myself, I say that having to clutch and shift would be even worse!!!!

Whatever works best for you Personally, having more control over the situation works best for me.

Beat me to it.


Now the opposite can be said for when you break your angle or right arm.
