    Right? of course they're sold out. It manual was a regular option on a production car it'd be ticked less than 10% of the time.

    Or how about just a regular 458 for less than 30% of price. That's a no brainer. I've had both. Not a huge difference.

    Agreed! Ferrari know what they are doing. They wouldn't offer a manual in their hypercar, as that would slow it down. Same with normal production Ferraris. There are a few romantic clients who want to experience something different though. Such a car won't have to do drag/track battles with Lamborghinis, Astons and McLarens, so a manual is not a problem. Different Ferraris for different Ferraristis, as the company maintains.

    What a stupid comment. Your mindset is a perfect reflection of the kind of people Ferrari attracts these days.

    Have a Vette & Camaro - Chevy fan. Just a joke. but I do need a leather jacket jean shorts & New Balance shoes :) I don't go on Vette forums and events and tell them my Ferrari is better!

    VS may be better than Speciale - like the 765LT received Senna technology the VS may do the same from F80. Zero went into the Speciale from the Halo - in fact Ferrari was sued for stealing the fans and downforce.

    Let's say you are spot on - why are you here.
    Drive a few brands - people like you hate the same guy in a Ferrari vs the same guy in a 1969 Z28

    It's ok - I opened the door you fell down the stairs.

    To each their own. I have a Perf and it's fine. That's about it. Very different cars.

    I'm obviously curious about the upcoming 296 Mugello and for what it is. I don't hate anyone, but I do carry a small grudge towards Ferraris current leaders, as they are in my eyes massacring my favorite car brand, hehe. With that in mind, I can't stop myself from commenting when I see people claiming the new 296 Mugello will become the next big investment object, comparing it to cars from a different era with a totally different setup and ethos.

    I think the 296 Mugello will be awesome, but will it be limited enough, and good enough, for people wanting to pay a super premium to get one? I have my doubt.
    Anyways, I agree that this discussion must end. We should discuss the car instead. Speculation about its future can be discussed by smarter people on a brighter day :)

    Mugello was the name I picked for the 812C before it came out. Sounds pretty good for the 296 VS version though

    I got to see the 296 VS today.. It's cool, but im a little underwhelmed..

    I hoped for something like this (a Ferrari version of the 992 GT3 RS)...

    Yep.

    Changes are small.

    Think 458 to Speciale or 488 to Pista...

    I think plenty people will prefer this over Ferrari GT3 RS.

    Sorry you were underwhelmed, though.
