Ferrari F140B
i´ve to admit, i never liked Ferrari that much, but recently they came up with two superb cars, the 360CS and, of course, the Enzo...
here`s a kinda nice, scientific article on the Enzo´s engine, the marvellous F140 B...
sorry for the bad quality...

computer wont allow that to happen. it wont downshift if the downshift will cause the rpms to pass redline.

Sure the computer will. All that gearbox is, is a clutchles sequential gearbox. But instead of having a lever it has paddles. It just like an F1 car. You can shift down as many gears as you want and it will let the revs pass the red line.
Remeber your in control and you can shift gears how ever you want. All the computer does in that car is work the clutch and blip the throttle on downshifts.
