I agree.  This execution is beautiful.  This is ALL business.

On this subtle point, I disagree.  Given the efficiency of today's F1 boxes and 
even modern automatics, there's no need for a manual gearbox beyond satisfying 
the whims of the individual driver.  I'd much rather have this setup in a 
modern car, than a gated, clunky shifter.  On the other hand, an automatic or 
even an 80ms F1 paddle driven gearbox in a 250 GT PF coupe' would be a mortal 
sin.

Opinions are like what?  Mine too.
