no wonder! I hardly drive it in manual mode. I'll give it a try. Thanks guys!
Throttle Blipping
Throttle Blipping
Hi guys, I've owned my F for almost a year now and have not driven it much. I'm still trying to find out when it automatically blips the throttle/rev match. I've only experienced it a couple times maybe and really cannot tell what the conditions need to be for it to do it, and I don't remember whether it was in Auto or manual mode. I am assuming it will do it in auto mode of course. I drove today and was trying to make it rev match and it won't happen. How can I purposely make it happen? Thanks guys.

Is it possible to over rev the engine in manual mode? I know there's a limiter, which works during up shifts, but what happens when you're going at a high speed and try to downshift?

yup... they design that protection into it. I have to admit that I put it in manual sometimes because I love the rev match blip and how the cars feels sharp and ready to go

I have owned my ISF for close to 6 months and I have to admit that I had not played around with manual mode or the paddle shifters much...I just didn't see the need???
THEN I installed Sikky headers and Joe Z exhaust and found that with the manual mode I can make this exhaust system "sing" by keeping the revs where I like. I will still throw it over to "D" on the highway so the cruise will work but it is really fun to pull it back over to "M" mode and here the throttle blip as I down shift at speed and then accelearte hard making the exhaust sound...well...friggin AWESOME!!! LMAO!!!
