I have an opportunity to buy a couple of different OTO's from a couple of different dealers. Although I am laying ou a bunch of questions to solicit opinions, the biggest one is whether or not the HGTS pack makes a difference on an 08 OTO. I have heard it makes a big difference on the 06's but was unsure if a lot of that was based on improvements already made to the OTO. IE is the superfast part of the OTO regardless of getting the GTS pack, or do you have to have the GTS to get the superfast? Ihave read in some places the GTS is standard on the OTO, but the dealer says that was not "optioned" on a car. My favorite combo would be TDF/Cuoio but that is not an option. Here is what I have to choose from: 1) Silverstone/Cuoio with the HGTS pack. carbon fiber door sills only which works for me because I dont really love the cf in this car. Ball polished challenge wheels grey piping and stitching daytona seats. Yellow Calipers Yellow tach Cuoio Wheel Cuoio upper dash (I would prefer a darker color, but it is not a huge deal for me). Another one which is on a boat so I cant see it yet, so I am depending on a dealers description and am awaiting on the spec sheet. 2) TDF/Beige No HGTS but it does have the "sport exhaust exa2" Ball polished challenge wheels Carbon Fiber lower cabin (does anyone know what this means? is this the lower dash? is it the area by the reverse shifter? HELP) the code is CLZ which come up as the door sill, which would be good. But the dealer was unsure (go figure). Ceramic Brakes (both cars have these) Daytona seats Gold calipers (he said it would be bronze looking, anyone seen gold calipers on a 612? Any opinions? any pics of these at ALL (calg is the code). No HGTS pack (does this mean no 100ms shifter? How big a difference would the HGTS pack make on the OTO? Same difference as prior years or less so?). Blue wheel Dark blue upper dash. Sport exhaust Both cars also have bunch of quasi standard stuff (home link, ipod, rear cam etc). So in a nutshell, I can get my first choice exterior with my second choice interior, but am unsure if losing the GTS is a big deal on an OTO,or I can get my third choice exterior with my first choice interior and the GTS pack. Opinions sought, even if you only have 1 or 2 from the list.
Most of the above can be boiled down to a simple question, is the superfast and transmission aspects of the old GTS pack standard on the OTO?
I'm fairly sure the transmission is the same between HGTS and standard on the OTO. I have the dealer memo which explains the options, but not at home unfortunately. If either of these cars is at an authorized Ferrari dealer, have them send you the dealer memo on the OTO. It should answer that question definitively.
Here is some info. I believe the transmission is on all 08 and beyond Scags...regardless of the handling pack. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
"One To One" In theory, 612s are no longer being built for dealer inventory. Each 612 has to have a specific customer name attached. Of course, with the economy being what it is, some buyers are not taking deliver, or need to sell right away, thus there are some "new" ones on the market.
TDF/Cuoio doesn't really go together well. Cuoio is too far into the red and strikes against the TDF highlights
