This is Ron's Ferrari 348 Challenge. He bought the car three days ago. This car was awesome and Ron is a hell of a nice guy.

This thing sounds f-ing SWEET!

Mastering the art of rev-matching would seem to be a worthwhile goal.
Click to expand...
Not really too hard to learn. If the instructors showed you how to do it the "best" way and not the traditional way you'll learn it pretty fast. Using half of your foot on the brake and the other on the gas is a lot better to control brake modulation and revs than having to shift your heal to the right to hit the gas.
I'm still debating on whether or not left foot braking is something I want to learn anytime soon or not.

Forget about it for now, you only use it during trail braking anyways and unless you're a master at controling weight transfer you're asking for trouble.

Keith as usual great pics and videos of the event.

I think they did good, but I don't have anything to compare to. My Instructor said the car handled very predicable.

I hear the z51 package has stickier tires. I bet they are better, but wear down fast.

There was a C5 that was cranking! He had way more experience than I do.
