careful when you get it with the first and second gear changes... and remember the car has no limiter on the gearbox like a Q system, so if you gear down to 2 instead of 3, you will over-rev the motor and over-stress the gearbox. Let the car do the downchanges for you initially until you learn the system and how to drive it. City mode is silly in the GTA, i find it holds the gear too long, that's where the Q System is cleverer, but i hardly use it. Maybe if all my fingers were broken, then i'd use Silly mode...
Also with the selespeeds, the paddles wear out, especially the + one cos most owners just use the paddle to change up and let the car change down itself. I drive mine properly and do all the changes myself, the blipping of the throttle when you do it is most gratifying
.. and the power of the GTA, will put a smile on Alfisti's face...
check also that it does not judder on pull away in 1 cos mine does abit, so i bought a new valeo clutch to replace it. You never really know how the guy before you drove it... you know, and check selespeed oil level only when the car is cold..
Congratulations on your GTA and welcome to selespeed, the gear change that makes manual feel so outdated.... it's just so much faster, plus you don't need to heel and toe... the selespeed computer does it for you...
Congratulations again man!!!!!
