Hi Andrew. Congratulations on your choice of Ferrari and welcome to F-chat. No need to take my word for it but I think youll find that, with...
Your description sounds pretty much the same as my car. It appears to me both the speed and depth of peddle travel are measured and the...
As noted earlier in this thread, if yours does not downshift immediately upon hard acceleration request (i.e., suddenly flooring the gas),...
When an F1 clutch is correctly installed and adjusted, it will usually go to 70%-80% wear before showing signs of needing replacement. That first...
Having attended the LB Grand Prix weekend several times recently, I cant imagine a modern F1 race on the existing circuit. Its a great weekend...
As noted above, the F430 F1 transmission (in either auto or paddle mode) is so radically different from the 458 dual clutch transmission that any...
Nice car Michael! As owner of another Azzurro California 360 F1 coupe, I can assure you its a rock-solid MILF magnet. I almost never stop for...

I take a 200+ mile round trip for pleasure several times a month in my 360 coupe and enjoy every minute. Totally comfortable, dead nuts reliable,...
Another vote for Leatherique here. Used it per their instructions for several years with nothing but perfect results.
Feedback on exotic clutch materials (e.g., Kevlar, carbon fiber, etc.) in F1 360s and 430s has been extremely mixed. The people selling them say...
Sorry Mitch, no offense but just not correct. Throttle is controlled entirely by the TCU during shifts in the 360 and 430 F1 cars so lifting to...
That's all SOP for SCC/Jim Lyons. Most of his cars are stored in several secure locations around town, some not even in San Diego. The car I...
