slow down light

hi, my uncle (a very, very generous one) let me borrow his ferrari this weekend (and what a great weekend that was!!!!). So when i was driving, a "slow down" indicator would turn on. I could be going REALLY fast, moderately fast, or just cruising in 6th and it would do it. hwat is that about? Also, would does the sport mode do? Stiffen the spring or something? Couldn't really tell a difference (didn't do any hard cornering in it).

thanks

Never heard of the slow down light, it could mean you needed to downshift or something. The sport mode does stiffen the suspension to give better cornering and the like. Sounds like you had a great weekend. I would love to have an uncle or any family memeber for that matter own a Ferrari. Have any pics of it, if not what color is it?

could it be it detects cars near me and thinks im passing them too fast or something? There is a weird, black nipple shaped thing on the dashboard. Couldn't be downshifting b/c it happened when i was in 6th.

my camera is @ home (i'm @ school). I'll get some pics up soon.

he also just bought a diablo...maybe that's for next weekend

The catalytic convertor got too hot (or the sensor is bad)-- telling you to take your foot out of it until it can cool down...
