Default one other issue

with the later cars, the electronic thottle will close off as soon as the brake is applied, regardless of the throttle position.

i.e. if you have the throttle applied and hit the brake, the throttle closes, however if have have the brakes on, but then hit the throttle, the throttle works.

so you must get off the throttle completely, get onthe brakes, then get back on the throttle.

Default iirc...drive-by-wire gives you three seconds before cutting throttle once you get on the brakes

trail braking should be unaffected unless you are mixing large amounts of left foot braking.

more commonly known as a "scandinavian flick" or "pendulum turn"
