I have driven both And the F-1 by far is the way to go on modern cars especially the 575 Driven many 550’s and 1 575 stick To me they are balky and not smooth at all Cold weather no 2nd gear basically the 308 gear box as far as I am concerned And I have over 100k on my 512 TR without a clutch replacement or gearbox issues So I know how to drive a stick As a little side note I owned a Honda Fit 2010 5 spd with 173k plus on it Original clutch ! Getting back to the Ferrari box I was not an original fan but I like it now having had one and have driven it like a 3 pedal car In my opinion if drive it as such you will be fine I found driving it the auto mode is very balky I think that’s where a lot of the clutch wear occurs Also I stay away from reverse as much as possible since the design introduces 20% slippage which causes increased clutch wear I chose my parking spots wisely You will never shift a manual as fast as you can with the F-1 box You leave your foot planted and shift The same with downshifts And downshifts are a breeze and a lot of fun I might add I plan on changing the gearbox fluid every 15k since you can’t get it all out at one time if you do this you will always have fresh fluid in the box I would do this but when you read the specs on it you have to get it right and Ferrari has some special filler that makes sure you get it correct I am not sure about this but from a rolling start around 40 mph when I have a clear road ahead of me like on I-65 headed towards mobile and I do a full throttle acceleration run As big as this 575 car is it will break traction As fast as you can paddle the car will shift It will water you eyes ! I would love to catch a Vette or a Viper on a run like this I might loose but it would not be by much! I have never done a sport mode launch which they say will take your breath away I am a convert now, they have done an excellent job with the F-1 box and my car is 17 years old The new boxes must be even better The only caveat I have is you drive it like a 3 pedal car Hope I answered your question RF4-4EVR Scars are Tattoos with better stories !
