    I think he wants a 6-speed - Don't think either a Scuderia or 16M can be had with manual trans -all are F1s - obviously could be wrong.

    Yeah I'm 23 so @ the same time it is a lot more risk for me to own a Ferrari then anyone else I understand this, and will try my best to judge properly... Being 23 I will give in a lot more situations, but I have had a dirtbike since I was 5, own a 9 second race car, had a 2002 camaro ls1 black on black t-tops hurst 6 speed for my first car. Granted that does not justify anything but I love things of this nature and would not be living life to the fullest if I did not commit to this. I also have a GSX-R 1000 that I regularly ride 130mph wheelies ( controlled environment of course I'm not on the highway @ triple digit speeds on one wheel... )

    I would like to just stick with a regular 430, that is really all I am looking for nothing special... lol

    I had a Dino at 24 but I treated it like kid gloves. But, I drove my Alfa like a wild man.

    I can't imagine the trouble I would have gotten into if that Dino was an F430. Even today at a much (much!) advanced age, I have a tough time controlling my left foot.

    Well it is a Ferrari forum, I'd say we're all interested in cars in general to one degree or another. I'd certainly like to see some pictures of it! :) My coach was a big Nova lover, owns 2 or 3 of them actually.

    I've driven a manual car since I was 16 years old, learned to drive on manual. I was in a pickle last fall and had to get a car quickly and ended up with an automatic.. Even so many months later I sometimes reach for a clutch that isn't there :(. When I do get a 360 it'll only be a proper manual, no flappy paddles for me hah.

    Agreed. The op started a "must sell" thread for his Cadillac rims that set him back $9k. I linked to the ad and posted it in his thread on another forum (this one) that states "I'm 23 and looking to buy an F430". And then you copied mine which posted it for the 3rd time.

    We are all pretty disturbed :)
