    "With skipping gears on downshifting, don't shift down to a gear that'll cause your engine to exceed its redline. That can potentially require a very expensive fix. A simple rule of thumb is to skip no more than two gears at a time."

    The gates were Dremeled and purposely bent years ago when the car was raced. It's an early version of Hill Engineering's Slick Shift Gate.

    Someone really wrote an entire article about skipping gears while downshifting? Huh.

    Did anyone bother to tell him that not only is it okay it's a requirement on some of our cars until the molasses warms up ;-) Could be a hidden meaning in the selection of a Ferrari gate :)
