2008 Ferrari F430 6-Speed Conversion

Gated Glory: Driving the Raw Analog Ferrari F430 Manual in Lakeway, TX

Having spent time in an F1-transmission F430, I knew what to expect: a phenomenal engine and excellent noise. I knew a six speed example would be better, but I didn’t think it would be that good.

If you listen closely to the driving video, you might be able to hear me laughing. I was having the time of my life. The car builds power effortlessly and the transmission is outstanding.

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
