Alright ! we get it and FFS Jacobfox has already given a reason on why he picked the F1 gearbox over a regular manual gearbox and it's not your car so stop whining and STFU !
Having said that, its probably a good idea to get the automatic gearbox anyway, when your dad is done with the F430, more buys will be interested at buying an auto F430 rather than a manual one. But hey! To each's own, at the end of the day, its his ferrari not mine. Kudos for the car though... great choice of colour, ive seen enough red ferraris, good to see your dad choosing a non main-stream colour.
I did say its not my car, and its completely irrelevant of what we say on this forum, because at the end of the day, its his ferrari.. not mine, not anyone's. There was no arguement about his car in the first place, its about personal perference on the F1 gearbox v.s Manual. Thats all
shows that you obviously cant read.
Come on, MadCow already called his dad a wanker...
oh did i now.. or did you take it the comment the wrong way, cos i didnt imply that in at all. I even said its probabaly the best for his dad to buy the auto. The wanker comment was suppose to attack those ppl who thinks F1 gearbox is better than the manual simply because they rekon the gearbox will do everything for them perfectly. Meanwhile none of us can push a F430 to its limit on a public road anyway, so the help of a F1 gearbox is absolutely meaningless.
Lets not forget i have an autobox as well. Its allright to have an auto, just dont brag about your fucking gearbox like a noob. That was the point i was trying to make. If you are able to use 100% of your car's poential, then kudos for you. Go for the F1 box, as i am sure it will perform better than the manual, but if you cant.. then shut the fuck up about how F1 box is better than the manual, cos its meaningless if you cant use it 0.01 sec advantage, is it?
I wonder how many ppl in this thread has ever driven a ferrari with a f1 box.... lets count hands pls...
pfffft.. what do i know, im just a BMW slut, you might as well as close the forum because only a few members here have owned, or driven a ferrari. BTW, this is no flame war for sure..... its just a debate. And this is what makes a forum busy, if you dont appreciate my 2cents comment on "why manual is more exciting and more interactive" then i will take it else where.
She did, but that was a racing car, which wasnt street legal.
Ah... didnt know that... thanks for clearing that up. Ive always thought it was road legal like the F360 CS.
