The only feeling that's better than driving a Ferrari is crashing it into a wall somewhere. Yeah, do it, go for it!
Cheers!

get something like this, with no plate SBF 7 X
This is classic example of money can't buy good taste.
Yeah, you are right. Pedal-less dual-clutch, paddle-shift whatever nonsense guniang cars. Can't understand the 'thrill' of driving sports cars without manual gearbox.
manual shift has gotten too tiring for me. on steep hilly and windy roads i use semi-auto shift with no need for clutch control. if you're in a small flat city like sg, doing manual shift with clutch control can go a long way, and you may not get tired of it. but in a hilly packed city like sf with many stop signs, lights, pedestrians, cyclists, and crazy peeps once you go auto you'll never look back. try stopping on filbert at a 31.5-degree incline while waiting for pedestrians to cross and revving the engine plus holding clutch, foot brake and hand brake at the same time everyday a dozen times a day. if you don't get fatigued you must be on drugs.
I am talking specifically about sports cars not meant for daily commute, yeah, and i think you just reinforced my point that cars are now catered to lazy and guniang drivers.
Should these cars give the ultimate driving pleasure? How much pleasure can you get from driving a auto sports car? Manual transmission gives driver total control = total satisfaction. Glad the americans still make real drivers car like the dodge viper. And given a choice that i would never have in real life, i'd choose without second thoughts a ferrari testarossa over any of the dual-clutch nonsense they have now.
have you seen a 458 dual-clutch 7-speed getrag gearbox? no more traditional manual option. you do all your speed changes using the f1 finger shift. old school manual options have pretty much gone away, especially for super cars since 2008. when you actually do work in a garage with high performance cars including vintages and classics, then come talk to me. otherwise you're making me laugh.
