    New 1st time Ferrari owner, just picked up 6spd 360 Modena (Argento Nurburgring) yesterday.

    I have test drove both F1 and 6spd, it was really hard for me decide as I like both, they both had advantages and disadvantages. The 6spd is so awesome and easy to drive off the line from stand still. The fast revving and fast droping rpm takes a little bit getting used to, maybe I just need a few more days of practice.

    Thanks to Mike (SoftwareDrone) for answering my questions, that made the decision easy for me.

    Here are some pics:

    Congrats- I was in your shoes just a couple of weeks ago so I can imagine how great you feel right now!

    I love those seats, and the red stitching

    Don't know why people have chosen to comment on your rims, but I say save your money- the stock rims are best for the car

    Drive her in good health!

    Congratulations on the car! Great choice on the gearbox; the 6 speed manual is a lot of fun and often less problematic than the F1 cars. Be on your toes if you ever disable that ASR :)

    Thanks guys, today was my first full day of driving the car, I can not wipe the smile off my face, I enjoyed the 6spd 10 times more now after 1 full day of driving. I am happy with the choice I made.

    DM,
    Thanks for the recommendation, the 430 wheels look so awesome. I will eventually get to the wheels, I really want a set of hyperflow cats and exhaust.

    gorgeous car. I absolutely LOVE the interior and those seats. If you're changing the wheels I'd go with Challenge wheels personally.

    Congrats! Beautiful car. Love the challenge grill, sport seats, and red stitching.

    Best wishes for many happy miles to come. Taking a Ferrari to redline at speed while rowing through the gears is about the most fun you can have with your clothes on. :)

    Congrats on the 360!!

    If you are missing second gear on speed - its not you its the bushing in the shifter bad. Common easy fix so keep that in the back of your mind... it is a VERY common issue. do a search on shifter bushing if it applies, if not now will in the near future.


    Love the 6-speed what I have in mine also!
