Would you want a stick-shift in the F-60?

What about BMW? The M3 has had one for years.

 

No it hasn't, it's H pattern internals (same box as stick shift) with paddle shift operation.

There's LOTS of confusion about true sequential gearboxes.

A sequential gearbox will have a barrel or ratchet type selector, which simply moves one way or the other and is never truly out of gear unless in a designated neutral position. Neutral can only be selected by going down all the gears to get to it.

An H pattern, even a paddle shifter, will have several selector rails... ie a main selector will go through neutral to get to the next gear, and neutral can be selected at any time.....this is the crunch for legislation.... neutral MUST be selectable in a car at all times... even though not for motorbikes... why??

 

The new 997TT may have DSG more advanced than F1 .
