    my manual scud is better than my manual cgt.
    and my friends manual CS is better than my F1 CS.
    the manual CS is better than my friends F1 Scud.
    My F40 is better than all of them.

    L.O.L:confused:

    Converted a Scuderia into manual is destroying all its specialness!

    Well done, you did he most silly thing that can be done on a scud!;)

    Considering he owns both and more surely he can speak on whether it's good or bad..?

    I admit, I never drove a manual scud.
    The main reason is that such commodities are (rightfully) rare, maybe because almost all the scud owners agree with me.

    The scud possess the best non DCT transmission (with maybe the 599 GTO).
    Although a manual one stays an exceptional car (I guess), you’re now miss the best part of all the raw character of this masterpiece!

    As @Bas suggested that you own 2 scuds, I am eager to discover how my above statement could be wrong. (No sarcasm, I am)

    Some people like chocolate some don’t
    Some people like trump, some don’t.
    I dont like paddles when it comes to emotion/experience. Plenty of video game cars available and f1 was the inception of the video game car.

    And the comment about maybe it makes sense if you have 15 cars.
    I cant think of a pair of cars that checks more ferrari boxes than a gated scud and ff/lusso.

    Some people don't like Biden, some people li.. Just kidding, nobody like this mummifying left-wing guy!^^

    I think the gap between your manual scud and a manual F430 is way smaller than the one between an F1 F430 and a scud.
    I am in love with the chocks that comes from the scud paddles change, an old time great to me!

    I like it so much than I just had a flash on my writing! A 458 Speciale with the F1 scud transmission!
    Trading a little less performance for a BIG BIG load of character, emotion, and drama make me horny lol!
    Finally the best swap ever to give the 458 that extra soul!

    I don't even know if it is feasible, and I will probably get the same hate that you got from me with your manual scud, but this is my dope, each their own!;)

    EDIT: What did you do with your scud's F1 transmission? lol

    Deflection? Does it work or not? I'll bet you $1,000 it doesn't work on your Scud conversion.

    That was obviously ridiculous, but a better analogy would be to make a NA F40 - still questionable IMHO, but it could be advocated with similar arguments to those used to support the switch from robotized to manual... the same approach that makes so many people (particularly in the US, I suspect) claim they prefer the 458 to the 488.

    No need, $1k is all I'm willing to bet. Send me the file, I'll have someone look at it. It doesn't work, I'm sure of it but I'm not $100k sure of it.

    I know what I chose - definitely the 488 over the 458 (I drove the 458 before buying the 488, and I immediately felt that its engine was not up to the task).
    And which is faster is not defined by a 0-60 time (red light drag race) nor a top speed (that will almost never be reached). On a track, a 458 will not know which way the 488 is going; that's the driving experience that I like, not showing off with a noisy car :p
    By the way, this video would also make the case for a naturally aspirated F40 (certainly an F40 engine without turbo would be able to take more rpm, and make more noise with that...)
