Manual or F1?
What kind of gearbox do you prefer? Manual or F1?
Although I think the F1 is more efficient, I would choose the manual...I would make that choice only because I love manual change but perhaps if I test a car with F1 levers I would change my option (but I doubt...)

well when jeremy clarkson drove the audi tt he said it takes .2 seconds to shift, and in a manual car it takes .5 more than the tt. So i would think that there is no lag if its shifting faster. For the first time today i drove on public road in a manual car and it was pretty sweet.

I think I'd go with a F1 box myself.Depends on the car really.

manual...more control over the engine and the engagement of the gears...that way if necessary one can put in some clutch slippage...something which cannot be done in an F1 tranny.

Besides, a car with no gearshift looks stupid. So manual all the way.

Depends on the car I guess. I have only driven two - M3 and Ferrari 360 - and I still prefer a true manual.

I have to say that the BMW SMG and Ferrari F1 boxes are very good they shift instantly I would buy one of those boxes but on anything else I would buy the Manual.

A standard Manuel is what I would choose. It allows you to have more control over the car.

Manual for me, the only cars that i've driven with automatic/sequencial gear was the smart and the opel corsa. Very wide lag. of course that the ferrari and the smg of bmw doesn't comparison with that but, manual for me. I think it's better and you can control much better the engine =)

I like more Manual way. And F1 is not fastest than manual. It depends how u make the upshifting. Manual is for good drivers. I love to heel and toe and double clutching when driving. F1 does it automaticaly. What´s the funny, so?
Manual is a real driving way, for good drivers. F1 is for begginers.
:fist:

I'd take a open gated H-shifter anytime, thank you. Preferabily in a Enzo...too bad they didn't put that as an option in the Enzo. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go with a F50 then.
