    I have been hearing more and more that the 430 6 speed manual transmission is very rare! I would like to know if anyone on here has an approximation or exact number would be better :) as to how many 430 6 speed manual transmissions there are in the U.S.?

    I'd assume there is no way to find out exactly how many.

    As far as percentage wise I've heard <10% of F430s from 2005-09.

    I can't help with US figures but these are the UK figures. UK is approx 10% of F car production, US I believe is approx 40% of F car production, hope this helps? UK probably has a higher take up of manual cars so any calculation is open to error margins.

    430 manual - 129
    430 F1 - 731
    430 spider manual - 128
    430 spider F1 - 847

    Any other figures? Perhaps for Germany?

    There are about 450 Ferrari F430 (Coupe and Spider, without Scuderia and 16M) offered in Germany (mobile.de), but only about 15 have manual transmission ...

    I think that is correct and the percentage went down in later years. Very few non scud coupes were produced after 2007 and spiders have a lower percentage than coupes. I also know FOD had more buyers for sticks than they couold get.

    I have no idea, but I feel like 6 speeds are not that rare in F430 cars. I have seen quite a few at shows and dealers. It seems like there are more 6 speed coupes than spiders.

    Perhaps you are right, but there are less than 10 coupes offered (in Germany) with manual transmission, so your observation may be true for America ...

    Any idea where to find some figures?

    I was wondering about 3 peddle options specifically for the 360 Spider. I bumped into Taz on the "other" forum and he gave the stats - 1,641 in total LHD for the entire production run. I would suspect that we could obtain the same level of detail for the 430.

    He mentioned sourcing the information from the Maranello Concessionaires.
