Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Sequential console shifter for Ferraris

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

FG observes: “Just an observation. I prefer it over paddles, and my gut is rarely wrong with this stuff.”

 

Most cars with some sort of automatic transmission have the paddles AND a shifter.  I’ve driven both in auto crossing.  When I us the paddles - - - I make a hash out the run.  Where am I?  What gear?  Where was I?  oh boy another turn.  SO – that said – I prefer the console shifter.  Yeah yeah yeah – same same AND I only have one hand on the steering wheel.  But for my right side brain (left?)  I seem to be able to keep track of what gear I’m in – just the way it is - - - - with this gray haired old racer. 

 

I wonder what Jim Hall would say?
