My business partner acquired a 2000 360 Modena F1 a few years back and I have the privilege of driving it on many occasions. As neither of us have another 360 to compare, my question to you all is about upshifting at higher RPM's. When driving with traffic and normal RPM's (let's say under 5K) the shift is as smooth as an automatic. But, above that mark, when shifting, the car bucks very aggresively before going into the next gear. As if the engine power is suddenly cut, gear shifted, and hammered back on. It seems like quite a bit longer than the 150 or so milliseconds the specs call for. It really is not pleasant. I've tried keeping my foot planted while shifting, letting of the gas when shifting. Everything seems to be about the same.
I'm just concerned that if this doesn't sound proper, damage could be done to the clutch and tranny. The car has 22k and was just into the dealer for all maintenance and one computer glitch. All else checked out great.
Side note, I have always been a Porsche turbo nut- but this 360 is amazing and I feel as though I might have to switch camps! My 996 turbo funds might have to be rededicated.
Thanks
Steve
