  • Matt gets some coveted seat time in a 2006 Ferrari F430 with a 6-speed manual gearbox. These cars will become increasingly valuable as the F1's gearbox gets more and more outdated with the passing of time, and it's a genuine treat to go for a blast up the canyon in one.

    I wonder why racing sequentials never caught on and manufactures went from H pattern to flappy paddles. Sequentials would have been great in road cars and way more enjoyable than paddles, as you still get a stick and you get a clutch pedal. The only cars I can think of that had one are the Mosler and Gumpert Apollo.

      I met a middle aged executive at a Christmas party when I lived in Zurich some years ago. He ran over an entire group of cyclists in a full sized Audi SUV killing 3 and hospitalizing 5 others (with permanent injuries) after he tailgated them down a switchback pass and one of cyclists became nervous and crossed wheels with another causing chain reaction crash event. He didn't go to jail somehow but I always keep his story in my mind when riding around cyclists, you have to consider what the worst case scenario could be, what could go wrong when a multi-ton hunk of steel and glass becomes involved with humans with essentially no protection. Whatever the cyclist may have done wrong and however unintentional means little when you become involved in vehicular manslaughter. The look in this dudes eyes told me he never goes long without it torturing his conscience.

    This gentleman states a few times in this video about people giving a dirty look to someone driving a car like this. It reminds me of a very apt point that Adam Carrola made and I will wildly paraphrase it here.
    ------------------------------
    When I was a kid, and a guy drove by my dad and I in a Ferrari, I would ask my dad, "Who is that guy? I wish I had a car like that!" My dad would answer, "That is Mr. Smith. He is very wealthy. You should look at how someone successful like that makes money, and if you work hard, maybe you can get a Ferrari too someday".
    Today, a kid would be walking with his dad, and he would say, "Dad, who is driving that car, I wish I had a car like that!". And the dad would say "That is that fuc*ing Mr. Smith. He must have lied and cheated and stole poor peoples' money to get that car. Who does he think he is? He thinks he is better than me. I deserve that car more than he does".
    -----------------------------
    And therein lies the problem with some in our society. Instead of looking at nice things and aspiring to them, we hate the owners because we might not be able to afford one. I wonder what it is about people that are wired that way. Jealousy is one monster isn't it. When I was growing up, I lived in a very nice neighborhood called "The Woods". In high school, I lost count how many times someone said to me, "You think you are so great because you live in The Woods". I heard it all the time. Finally, this one big guy said it to me, and I was really fed up and I replied to him "No, I don't think I am so great. It's just that my dad is smarter and works harder and is BETTER than YOUR dad". That enraged the guy so much that he took a swing at me and missed, so mad that he couldn't think straight and as such, couldn't swing straight. I learned a lot that day about how jealousy is something some people have at their very core.
    Today, the problem is, the grown ups are from the idiot generation that I went to school with, and now we see the results.

      Truth. Apparently I was raised very differently than "normal". Jealousy and envy were considered unacceptable attitudes, aspiration was good. Seeing someone with a great car was an inspiration to finish my education, work hard, and make something of myself. My dad had a poster of an enviable garage titled "justification for higher education", and instead of whinging about wealthy people he always encouraged us to strive for advancement, to work for success. I don't have the Ferrari yet, but I'm making progress in that direction, getting measurably closer. Someday I will get there... and cars like this manual F430 are still an inspiration to keep going.

    Automatics (F1, PDK whatever you call them) are faster now than manuals but like the past, in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s the cars equipped with them will depreciate faster and always be LESS fun than the manual version. Looking back at NSXs, Supras, 300ZX, Mustangs, Corvettes, Porsches of the past, nobody wants the auto versions but the manuals are always coveted indefinitely.
    I don't understand why so many sports cars are Automatic only now. Sure it's faster and gets better mileage but if you think driving this 430 isn't as fun as an Automatic 991 Carrera S that's faster (for example) you're mistaken. It's not even in the same ballpark. Really sad the Alfa 4C was automatic too :( What the hell, it's basically a super Elise and it's auto :(

      The F1 has a manual option which most owners use when not in traffic. Less fun? Um no. Notice how this guy couldn't shift in a corner? Not a problem with the F1. I do agree with you on the depreciation part, but that's because of the misinformation about the F1. With a stick, either in say a Porsche Turbo or a Ferrari, you'll never be able to take full advantage of the engine because you can't shift fast enough because they rev to the max so quickly due to their power. If you want to be a slow driver, get the stick. If you want to drive fast, get the F1 for Ferrari or the PDK for Porsche.

Only a newbie to cars would say that. You might have the opinion, but poll the world and you'll find most people disagree with you. I've worked with and tuned Porsches every day for the past 15 years. Everyone I know agrees on this. For lap times, if you think that matters, sure buy the PDK. If you want to have fun, stick wins every time. This is why Porsche brought back the manual GT3, why the GT4 and Spyder were stick only etc. You'll never change my mind or most stick shift drivers on this - sorry. An automatic is super boring and nowhere near the same engagement and interaction of a stick.

    The stigma with Ferraris is a weird thing. I trust guys like Matt when they say how good some of them are; but we still pass judgement on Ferrari owners when we see them. I think it's because of how they're marketed. This whole "Formula 1 inspired" thing is just silly. I imagine buyers just ramble on about how the gearbox, the steering wheel, etc. are all based on an F1 car. I speculate that's why so few buyers opted for manual gearboxes. I think it's so they can brag that, as Clarkson said, "my car's got one of them gearboxes like Michael Schumacher". We tend to think, rightly or wrongly, that they're in it for the brand and the marketing, not the car.

      Alec D. I agree that it is mostly jealousy and a level of disgust (especially among the 'what about the poor types') that someone can drive something so obviously expensive. I mean the average person has lots of financial woes. This week 20 000 Malaysia Airlines workers were effectively fired. Many of those will, on this weekend, see a guy cruising about in his Ferrari. These types of things do not inspire admiration in many. Personally I would love to have one of these cars. But somehow I would struggle to drive one in public. For some reason I have found the R35 easier to live with. If they were not available, I would have gone Porsche and this is despite the fact that Ferrari is my favourite brand ...
