Maserati Biturbo, the Dogleg Shift Pattern, And the Manual Choke

I've always been fascinated by the Maserati Biturbo. Here is a great review of it by John Davis at Motorweek.

The two most interesting points from the video-- the shift pattern and the manual choke. The dogleg pattern looks like this:It is usually found in race cars because first is rarely used, except for starting and pit lane use. Other notable road cars with this pattern include the Porsche 928, 924 Turbo, 914, the early 911, Lamborghini Miura, and a few Euro-spec performance BMWs and Mercedes.
