    Lot of good Ferrari models to select in the $200k and below club. I agree that you can enjoy having the right answer on any you select. :D

    I'm going to try to continue filling up the new garage in the near future. But it can be hard to juggle too many cars also so the "one Ferrari" question can be fair, fun, and relevant.

    Can the DCT be converted to manual easily ? The F1 trannies were designed for it.
    Porsche already had direct fit manual boxes for the 911s in production so not a direct comparison.

    Besides the Porsche and Ferrari sports car market are different.

    When Ferrari offered manuals no one bought them.
    Even when everyone saw the writing on the wall and had a shot at manual Californias.

    Is Ferrari going to risk it to sell a handfull at elevated prices ?
    They already have too much demand for what they currently offer.

    Not a fan of the Ben Hur wheels and there is a shot somewhere of the "improved" ;) stereo system.
    But still...200K for a medium mile F12 ?
    Buy stock wheels on ebay and make it right. Sell these to some sap.

    If depreciation is not a factor THAT is the car !

    Edit; CarGuru ad shows accident reported on carfax.

    Nothing would present a true Engineering challenge for Ferrari to put a manual in a new model or retrofit an existing. Same as all the people bragging about the 458 being the last NA 8 cylinder. Can literally change overnight.

    A Scuderia OTOH, could not be manufactured again, so it would be a MUCH safer investment.

    Well as an owner I can tell u it is complete and utter BS and a testarossa doesn’t cost more than 100k these days, asking prices are not selling prices for sure.

    250 GTOs are selling for up to 70 million a pop.
    I'm guessing there is some profit to be realized with a remake.
    But I bet Ferrari wont.
    Any takers ?

    That's my point, you couldn't legally build a 250 or a Scuderia today, but you could announce a new model with. a manual transmission tomorrow, destroying the premium for a MT 430.
