    Look..there are tons of higher tech cars running around on the streets that are not Enzo's. Look at you basic Ford pick-up 6.5 liter diesel. That thing is a wonder of technology that Ferrari can only dream about. High bred cars, even your lowly 4 banger economy car. Heck in real car terms, most exotic makers are behind the times tech wise. They follow and allow other companies to do all the R&D, and they just modify it to fit their needs..that's it. The F1 system is not a Ferrari design BTW.

    Lexus is quite the company..and it would not surprize me in the least if they could get the F1 system in a Ferrari car to shift faster then Ferrari can get it to.

    I find that our Maser Spyder CambioCorsa and 335i E93 with 6AT w/ paddle shift get along together just find in the garage. I even know the differences in the transmissions. :) However, I do have the occasional brainfart, and will sometimes try to put the bimmer in neutral by pulling both paddles.

    uhh ohh.. .this is getting scary...

    I too had a Maser... but mine was a cambio coupe black on black.. I absolutely love and miss that car. So many people don't give that car enough credit!

    ...WTF?

    Uhm, who first, then?

    One would think, if that were true, the first thing they would then do would be to share the secret with their F1 team.

    Not just "them": A recent trip to an authorized dealer revealed not one manual transmission out of more than a dozen Ferrari and Maserati cars on display.
