Not a problem! I am pretty sure the HGTE shifts faster than the standard GTB.

You are correct. The HGTE has updated software that allows its fastest shift in 80milli-seconds as opposed to 100ms for the standard GTB.

599 GTO: ~60ms
The six-speed auto-clutch gearbox returns, but for GTO duty the final drive is six percent shorter -- improving responsiveness across the range. Upshift times have been reduced to just 60 milliseconds -- nearly on par with Fernando Alonso's F10 Grand Prix racer. Most intriguing is a new multiple-downshift feature: Simply squeeze and hold the left paddle while braking for a corner, and the gearbox will automatically drop down through the cogs as engine revs allow.

I LOVE the auto-downshifting. I think the 458 also has this feature but have not been able to confirm.
