458 launch control

Well handled. I think Mr. "Big Fish in a Small Pond" is in a much larger pond now, gasping for air. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM???" (Poor guy doesn't know who he is!)

 

LOL

This thread is hysterical. Most amusing after the mandatory 'no time for forums, must save lives' comments is that Spencer MD has the spelling ability of a middle school kid. Presumably his med school only required knowing how to spell prescription drug names correctly.

 

Watch out Superquant, this is borderline "heard" mentality.

 

You're right - I really need to remind myself to be my own man. And to make sure I am heard correctly.

 

So I learned two things

I need to change my middle name - which is Spencer

Update profile with pictures of my Ferrari and a copy of my W2.

... and put yittle Spency on iggy

 

Dr. Spencer,

As a user has written before, you were demanding help and not politely requesting it! You did not even put the magic word in your first post. This is a Ferrari forum, believe it or not, some people here expect high standards, also in terms of behavior. Even if you have achieved wealth beyond our imagination, achieving us (Peasants) through humbleness would have shown what a great character you truly are

If you are a Med. Doctor, you must know more than us (Non-Meds) that the whole high-blood-pressure-production might lead to a heart-infarction
So, I do not quite understand why your comments are getting more aggressive with every post in this thread! Calm down.
Life is beautiful! It is not worth it to loose your temper over a Launch Control issue

Just some food for thought . . .

Greetz,


Joseph

 

Dr. Spencer,

You may not be aware of this but there is a Ferrari Owner's Forum on this website where the only people in it are documented Ferrari owners.

There are 6 forums at the top of the main page here on FerrariChat that are only visible to subscribed users. One of them is the Owner's Forum. It becomes visible when 3 people vouch that they have seen your Ferrari in person, such as at a local car event.

I mention this because you may find that subset of this community more to your liking, since everyone there is an owner.

The other subscribed forums are also worth visiting. You might consider spending the $11 per year to become a Silver Subscribed member ($55 for a 5-year upgrade).

Here is a screen snapshot of what the top of the main page looks like when you subscribe and join the Owner's Forum.

I have read the post .I still don't know how to us the PS (POWER START BUTTON).I look at the Button everytime I drive the car.Especially when my wife is in the car.Ferrari told me the car should be in (1)manual in first gear with race.(2) press the button Once!!.(3) put your foot on the brake.(4) Give it gas with the brake held.(5) Let go of the brake hold on!!!
I have not tried it yet.

 

It doesn't have to do with post count credibility. Although it does seem like a heard mentality as you put it. I might actually have to quote you on that . The only thing I saw after reading the short thread here is that I don't believe you got an answer much different than the manual would have given you, but that doesn't mean it was wrong to try on here. Don't let the attack on your original post discourage you from using the forum, unless it already has.

Believe me, it could have been much worse. You could have been like the many on here that ask....so how often should I change my timing belt? Factory says 3yrs/30k but I want a real world experience....Those are the guys who get stampeded on by the heard, you were merely brushed by.

F Chat is the best resource for Ferraris anywhere.

 

Don't want to miss the balance of this entertainment. I love this forum, literally.

Good news is, just to change the LC subject... my car is 4 weeks away.

I'm just about wasted waiting. Thanks for keeping me busy in the mean time!!!

 

Great news, Arnie - You're gonna love it! I had mine in today for the battery fuse upgrade. Only took 20 minutes.

Make sure you keep us posted on any developments! (and take some pictures)

 

I'm hoping we can keep this thread alive, Dr. Spencer needs our help everyone! Dr. Spencer I do not own a 458 but I will try to figure this out for you, just give me some time to do some research and I will bring you to the solution.

 

okay well there is this video,

this looks like what launch control is

You see whoever is driving takes off really fast from the stop, and from the sound of the engine I think it was in launch control.

Is this what you want, Dr. Spencer? You want to drive 458 like this?

 

I FIND ANOTHER Launch Video, it would not load in my internet, but the preview pic has a man inside the cock-pit, I think he will give the demonstration for 458 launch control

I'm not sure if he is using Power start he's in automatic

 

You can be in auto mode and use launch control (power start). Look at this thread for more details

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312330&highlight=458+shelby

 

You are right, he is not shifting. Being in automatic though, maybe it automatically goes the fastest?

 

Ah, thank you for clearing this up sir/madam. I will continue my search

The Dr. is busy, he is a great man, he has many responsibility. It is up to us to help him find launch control. He saves life every day, the least we can do is repay him by helping him when he needs us.

 

Dr. I have find the owners manual, online version, it has launch information in it, shall I print it out and send you a copy? I will need your address.

 

Hmm, something seems a little fishy Paging Dr. Strangelove!

 

Fishy ? Is something bad going to happen?

 

I don't think so.

I'm curious as to your vigor to find this answer. Do you know Dr. Spencer personally?
