Ferrari Mailing List: Re: paddleboats

[Dave Handa (dave]

A friend in the local FCA (Paul) bought a black F430B with a 6 speed manual,
so it is possible to order one that way.  I have no idea if there is a
strict allocation to the dealers of how many 6 speed manuals can be ordered
though.  I do recall one of the introductory videos on the F430, that a test
driver claimed only 10 to 20% of F430's would be manual transmission.
Whether that is by demand or decree I have no idea.

Guys:

I roll these days in a BMW 540i/6spd. Only about 10% of E39 5 series  
sedans delivered in NAm spec were manual transmission cars, which got  
me to thinking...prior to the F355 100% of Ferrari models aside from  
the 400 series GM Autos were manual cars. What is the current  
percentage? Is the 430 even available with a manual transmission, I  
know the 360 was. What about the 12 cylinder cars, or are they all  
paddleboats now?
