Even if the new 575 only has a F1 transmission, the newest version of the 'box is supposedly much better and smoother than the previous ones. When 5th gear tested the 360CS, they said that it was the best semi-automatic system they had ever tested... Give Ferrari a chance to correct their transmission faults... they'll get it right sooner or later!

most ppl will argue that the best semi automatic paddle shift system belongs to the M3 CSL, not the challenge stradale. I myself have not driven the stradale, but i've driven the M3, and i don't think it's all that great. The downshifts are amazing, it heels and toes for you and the engine blip is awesome, but the upshifts are jerky and very unimpressive.

Just to make things a bit more clear for you guys, this thread is about a sportier version of the 575M Maranello (which is the official name, where the 'M' stands for modificato indeed), not a replacement for the 575M Maranello. We're talking about a street version of the 575 GTC car. That's why I'm afraid it might be only available with an F1 box, because that's also what Ferrari did with the 360 CS. As we all know, you can't choose a manual gearbox on the 360 CS.

With or without F1 style transmission, 575M or 575 GTC are still very fine cars but it's the driver needs to get used to the tranny. Of course, the passion of using click-to-click H gate is somehow lost.
