Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Transmission / Shifter question

[clyde romero (clyderomero]

No actually the reason is that the standard transmission limited the sales

Ferrari was slow to follow 
And the rest is history

Come on guys, do your arms really get that tired driving, that you have to
rest them on the gearshift all the time?  Is driving really that tiring?
Not to worry, the Ferrari engineers are working hard to help make life
easier.  Guess that's the reason 90% of all new Ferraris come with paddle
shifters. hee hee.
