    So mine just arrived and I have had a few days to drive it. Is there something wrong with my car as it shifts like a dog compared to my wife’s 355 F1 and my F430 F1. I could easily out shift it with a manual. When accelerating it shifts so slow that you literally get thrown forward as it decelerates for the shift/clutch disengagement. The car is going to FoS on Wed. to have this checked out. I just thought I’d ask here if I am expecting to much.

    It should be very much like your 430.

    I had one do the exact same thing. The thing was almost impossable to drive under heavy acceleration. I had to send it out to the dealer to have it repaired. Turned out it needed a clutch and release bearing. They told me that a sombody must have replaced the clutch assembly and did not rest the PIS. Does your car drop into neutral sometimes aswell?

    Have not had that happen, however, I do seem to smell some clutch burning. Not much, but some. Fortunately I still have warranty on the car.
