    Paul I disagree.

    That distinction belongs to the cam belt service interval topic. That one has been beat beyond death.

    Lol.

    I think a strong second place would be “how many miles does your Ferrari have” or “lowest mileage Ferrari”

    Probably already been said but this manual v auto thing in USA cracks me up. In UK I reckon less than 10% of drivers have ever driven an auto ..... we are taught manuals and that is pretty much all we know !

    I wanted 20%, but the poll doesn't go that far.

    I can heel and toe and rev match with the best of them, but I have to say that I am faster at the track and on my favorite roads with the paddle cars and left foot braking. I ran an '87 March/Cosworth Indycar and looking back, I would have loved that car with a paddle shift..... and I would have been better.

    The DCT has opened their sales, which is all they are interested in. However, it has also improved performance (unfortunately, driver skill hasn't improved commensurately).

    considering that so many Ferraris never get driven it would have no effect. ..
    an interesting comparison is PORSCHE 911s they offer manual on several models and while I am not sure of the percentage of manuals they do sell them.. however they are finishing up production of the GT3 special model and there WAS a manual transmission option or a PDK (theirDCT) and
    the production I believe is about 50/50...now I suspect they would have sold exactly the same amount if they only offered the PDk.. but who know ....atleast PORSCHE gives a choice....which is nice
