I'd be interested to know how much the Scuderia software improves the gearbox?

I've driven a standard Modena F1 and the shift was hopelessly bad...

Same here, I drove one a couple of years ago and the DSG box in the lowly Golf knocked it into a cocked hat by comparison - and that was before I had the DSG software.
Golf R gone.

I drove one on one of these event days and have to say I couldnt have been more dissappointed, the whole car was cack.
gearchange lurch was woeful. ok I may have had a bad 360 , but it killed the 360 rose tinted glasses I had  :fighting:

If I was buying a Fezzer, I'd want an unmolested one, without bolt on wings, repainted spoilers and such. :sick:

^^^^ Absolutely stunning  :notworthy:. But it's £2,000 (less a fiver) over the £40k budget.

I know you don't like haggling, Robin - but I could have that for under £40k for certain.

That ferrari is awful, regarding 360's generally I've had an opportunity to drive one a few times and on each occasion its been nearly 40 minutes before everything got warm and driver adjusted to the car - must admit when you first get in them they're cack but do "come" to you over time..

When they do they make an awful lot of sense imvho....plus that 8k V8 sound with a sports exhaust   :drool: :drool: :drool:
