For what it’s worth, I have had 2 GS’s, Granturismo S, Sport, MC Strad and GranCab Sport, all from new, so have had the full combo of 4.2, 4.7, auto-manual and ZF Auto.
I always hankered after a non facelift QPV Sport GT with the CambioCorsa box and managed to find one back in May. The intention was to put it away as a project car as I plan to do a QPV RestoMod project over the next few years ranging from expensive to “stupid” BUT I have been using it almost as a DD as it is that good. Ok, my dislike of Skyhook is well documented and the passive set up in the Strad was/is awesome, but it’s one of the best balanced cars I have ever owned and/or driven.
I never liked the facelift and didn’t want auto and have absolutely no regrets in getting a 4.2… ok the RestoMod project plans to amend that, but I will choose to drive it over all my other cars at the moment…
Good luck,

Have same car - pre-facelift QP V Sport GT. This means the pretty shape with 6 speed transaxle connected via clutch operated by F1 system (electro hydraulic). Owned since 2014 and used as daily driver, mainly in auto mode for transit driving. Always in manual and often sport when it's just me. Same clutch with 36k miles added. Was "very worn" when car was bought. Measured 86% worn out several years back. How much good clutch material should I throw out?Stu, just about every magazine review and youtube 'guru' report I've seen on the duo-select box says it's a pain in the **** and to be avoided, but in the real world what is it actually like on a day to day basis? Does the clutch wear out as quickly as they say it does? Is there a particular way they have to be driven in or out of sport mode? I've never driven one and have had my eye on some 2007 to 2009 pre-facelift ZF QPVs, but there are a lot more duo-select cars well within my budget too. Is the Sport GT a definite improvement on the earlier cars as far as the gearbox goes? Obviously with the age of these earlier cars the subframe and variator issues arise too, but I'm keen to learn what they're really like to own and drive.

I hope you have written them a stern letter of disapproval.The two big problems I found with my research were that interior colour and calliper colour were not filters on Autotrader.
YESIs the Sport GT a definite improvement on the earlier cars as far as the gearbox goes?

I wonder if the Sport GT had the same software upgrade as enjoyed by the GranSport, some 35% quicker to change than the 4200 Cambio Corsa?YES
The regular DuoSelect is likely the one tested in reviews. Sport GT had quicker shifts by <some percentage> which makes a real world difference. Most likely software update but unaware of any modification available. I do know one member @MAF260 who had software upgrade to his GranSport using Ferrari 360 program.
All face lift 4200 had the same 'Sofast' CC software as the GSI wonder if the Sport GT had the same software upgrade as enjoyed by the GranSport, some 35% quicker to change than the 4200 Cambio Corsa?
The ugly one.....Pre-facelift Sport GT...?
Looks great by the way
