We are on the list for the 6speed. I wonder if I will regret the manual transmission since majority of the cars will be f1 tranny.
Anyone driven both and can give me a feedback?

Also leanign towards red one but after seeing the lucent pix of the blk one I am like DAMNNNNN

According to Ferrari test drivers and engineers, maximum performance of the 430 can only be had with the F1. The 6 speed is made available only because there are diehards who refuse to enter the 21st century.

if u know how to drive 6 speed then u know which one is more fun. forget about all the fancy stuff of how fast it shifts or how much faster F1 is on track or how good the Ferrari F1 is, 6 speed is the fun is.

black is tough Raja! red is so-so on 430. the chrome headlight ring just killed it.

I don't suggest openning up the headlamp housing... especially on a Ferrari...

I wanted a 6speed G but did not wanna wait for an order so took one off showroom floor in e-gear...
I am so glad I did not get 6speed...
F1 all the way...Even if I endu p getting a 997TT (still waiting for final pics/price) I will go for DSG tranny
Manual is a thing of the past
