    May sound a stupid question to most of you but in the interest of the rest of us, can you guys please shed some light on how each one of these changes and affects the perfortmance of the car with a change to the manettino.. see the highlighted boxes changing on the vehicle dynamics screen without knowing too much what exactly it means on some of them:
    F1-Trac
    E-Diff
    F1-DC
    ESC
    ABS
    SCM

    You mean there IS something useful in there,..
    When I didn't find anything on how to play music and connect Bluetooth and use navigation i didn't bother reading thru how to open the door and what pressing "engine start" does!

    F1-Trac: Predictive traction control level of intervention (debuted on 599)
    E-Diff: electronic diff level of aggressiveness (debuted I think on F430)
    F1-DC: F1 dual clutch level of aggressiveness (debuted on California)
    ESC: Electronic Stability control level of intervention- works in conjunction with others (I think this debuted on 550)
    ABS: Anti Lock Brake level of aggressiveness (debuted on 1989 328 GTS?)
    SCM: magnetic shocks level of stiffness (debuted on 599)

    Nice image!

    I think Ferrari has the best interface for controlling all these systems. The Manettino is so simple yet so powerful.

    Thanks for this. I know this is a very old thread, but I have a question for you all about this:

    Today I took the 458S for a spin around the amazing mountain roads we have here in NorCal, and I decided to play a bit with the two options I have never tested: CT off and CST off. To be honest, I only used the CST off in a few turns that I know really well and with full visibility ahead. I don't like to take any chances outside the track. Therefore, I didn't really feel much difference because I didn't push it much.

    But the point / question I'd like to post is that I could swear with the CT off setting, I felt a much more aggressive throttle, engine note and steering feel, even more so than in Race mode. I don't see any of this performance enhancements on the list above. In fact on the table posted by Luque the engine is both red for Race and CT off.

    So was it just my mind messing with me, or is there any truth to this feeling?

    Thx in advance

    I also noticed the same thing at the track. In fact CT OFF seems like a much stiffer suspension than RACE mode.
    Any clarification is appreciated!!

    Yup, stiffer suspension makes sense because of the SCM: magnetic shocks level of stiffness (debuted on 599), from the list above. What surprised me was the other three I listed! And man... I'm telling you it felt AWESOME! Just more punch
