id like to know this as well ... i think i over counter steered for sure, but not sure what i did with the gas

I'm sorry. I don't mean to dis the nanny controls. They really are a good piece of technology. I just find it amusing how people who never had to drive without them take them for granted.

I remember cars without seat belts.

Oh well, pay no attention to me.

Seriously, though; if you ever get a chance to get out on an autocross course without the nannies, you'll be a better driver for it. I'm glad you're O.K. after your ordeal.

You're an Italian NY Yankees fan, so it's hard for me to say that I'm glad your Ok (unless the trauma you encountered made you ready to convert to RED SOX Nation), but I am happy you didn't mess up the car to bad and are ok....remember that with great power comes great responsibility.

Because just like humans computers can fail and I trust my instincts FAR more than some programmers. And I will never come to rely on these pathetic nannys. Not saying I haven't made my share of mistakes, but your alot better off when you come across something that doesn't offer you all these needless luxuries.

Mine is off before I shift to second
