    Has this been posted before? Old news? I live under a rock? How did I not know about this? Apparently Modificata dropped a new gearbox in it and designed a gated system. Now I would have much preferred they did this to a standard 458 as I think they have severely degraded the performance of a very special car, but this has to be the ultimate Ferrari driving experience.

    OK, so I searched "gated 458" and I was on my first cup of coffee...get the firing squad ready.

    Well I hadn't seen it either. So much for the mob who say there's too much tech in a modern Ferrari for a manual trans to work. Looks like it works just fine to me.

    I love it! I’d love it even more if I could drive it. :D Last naturally aspirated V8 and it’s gated? Sign me up!

    Jeff knows his stuff and I know this wasn’t any easy task. Having done a 360 myself (which is relatively easy) I never wanted to try and crack all the ECU, E diff, transmission issues on the later cars.

    Kudos to him.
