    When you say the 458 has a better clutch you probably mean "smoother" as the gear changes are faster and they happen without you noticing it. Compared to the gearbox of the 458 (or FF or F12 ...) the gearbox of the GTO is a masterpiece in my opinion. Red line and shift up and you get this "kick in the but". Awesome. That's just one of the things making the GTO so special. Yes, changes gear slower than the DC but the GTO adds tons of drama to the experience. This is when you realise ... I'm in a magnificent machine.

    When I drive my GTO to go to a track day and get into my 458C, that's always one of the first things I notice. I'm waiting for the "kick in the but" but in the 458C it doesn't come ;)

    Agree with you all the way.
