My 599 2007 GTB is arriving soon. This will be my fourth Ferrari yes It is RED with Tan. She has just 3090 miles on her. And it is a 6 speed Gated shifter. Has many Options. Carbon Fiber trim on the dash and doors. Scuderia shields. Carbon fiber brakes with red cal. Also has the LED on the steering wheel. 20 inch rims. Rear shelf in leather and has the Daytona seats with carbon fiber. Also has the Bose sound system. Also ordered the Fire Extinguisher as well. Will post pictures as soon as it arrives. Purchase from Algar Ferrari dealer. Very pleasant to work with. I will also purchase the extended warranty for additional year. I just hope it performs better then my 1995 F512M.
I am really looking forward to hearing of your shifting experience. Having owned 50 + shift stick cars, this was the most difficult to get the hang of. Good luck to you. A brave soul.
+1, I was told by more than one to get the F1 transmission if you get a 599...I never drove a 599 with the manual so I hope you got to drive it so you could judge yourself... Good Luck with it.
John, congratulations on the 599, what a great car you have coming and a stick shift as well!!! Please post pictures and let us know how well you're doing at matching revs with the clutch. All the best~
John- Way to go. Like everyone else, I want to hear about the three pedal operation. Hopefully after you have driven it for a while, you can give us a report. With the drag racer gearing, you are going to be shifting very quickly, so hope you enjoy it. Taz Terry Phillips
Hello everyone. I am still in the process in regards to my F599 GTB. The car is ready to be shipped. However I decided to order a fire system for the car. So the car will take some what longer to arrive. The parts for the fire system mounts on the side of the passanger. It is a custom order part. Well It is being made in Italy. 2-3 Week delay??? I too can hardly wait untill it arrives, I will post pictures and most important will let everyone know on the Gated Gears. I too heard stories about the Gated shifter. Lets see if it holds any water. Will keep you posted. And will give final comments on the car. John
My 599 GTB was picked up today by Horseless Carriage Carriers. From Algar Ferrari. I should have the car within 2 weeks or so. I will leave feed back in regards to the manuel transmission and will post pictures too.
Is it home yet.?? I hope they are not charging you too much to deliver..I have never waited that long to have a car delivered
Sorry for the delay. I know every one is waiting a feed back in regards to the manuel gear box. I drove the car on Sunday. I really did not have any problems. Some problems going up a steep hill. On flat roads its basic procedure. I really like it . No worries at all. I will try to post few pics today. I have a tight schedule this week. I will try my best. Leaving out of town on business trip. I will return from my trip within a week. Thanks
