What is the auto blip - software based?

No problem H&T with stock pedals. The clutch is just fine and doesn't give you leg cramps depressing it like the old GT3.

I am old skool, and old, feel that part of my fun is high reving NA motor without funky things like rev match, no lift shift, no Auto tragic tranny's etc. Lots of cars are faster but I quit chasing faster when I sold my GT2 and now just enjoy trying to get the most out of what I have.

That's a great looking car... so much to choose from

My original thought was to get a GT4, but so many people told me that I would think it was to slow after driving the GT3, and GT3RS, and I saw a lot of youtube videos complaining about the gearing on the car so I started looking to see what else is out there and how the ZL1 1LE came about.

I walked into a Ford dealership today and they had 2 GT350s on the showroom, one was Red and other was Blue, and the Blue one really caught my eye.

Window sticker had a 20K addendum on it but after making friends with the sales manager he said he would do it for 4K over which I think is not to special but not horrible, and at 64K that is actually less then the 1LE by 6k+

I am so confused right now... I need to stop walking into car dealerships i think.

More power to you brother but not all of us want to feel unsafe and having the auto blip is not only a nice feature with all the benefits it comes with but you can always turn it off and perfect the skill at your time frame if you wish to do so... I like options.

If you don't know how to Heel/Toe or at least manually rev-match while not on the brake, it is unsafe to just downshift while braking without matching revs (pretty easy to spin if not going totally straight). Hope this applies to nobody here though...

Yes, what he said.

Actually there is a pretty cool video by Randy Pobst that talks about it.

Wow one sold for 250K... MSRP sounds great now!

And those of you who said it was ugly... not sure how you can say that.

250k is a lot of money but nothing like what the Shelby commands. The first 2015 Shelby GT350 sold for over $1,000,000

Heck the first GT500 10 years ago sold for over $600,000

One would think these car mfr could hide that damn satellite radio shark fin. Make it part of the design somehow. Heck, use 2 of them and incorporate them on the ends of the wing. Something better than the "no effort, stick it on" look
