I know there is a lot of love for a manual box on exotics but you can't beat the bang bang of an F1 box.
My old 360 was amazing for just that and the one I should have kept.
Ah, the old manual vs semi-auto wars! I have to confess, I love the semi-auto on my Vantage. Like the Maser F1, it takes some learning, but get it learned and it’s wonderful. The gear changes in hyper-shift mode (equivalent to MC mode on the GTS and Strad, I think) are blisteringly quick with a wonderful thunk in your back.
Yet it’s the manual that ‘real’ drivers claim to prefer. What a load of old bollox. When you’re two second in each gear and h4rd on* the gas the last thing I want to be doing is stirring a gear-box.
*apparently it’s rude to be hard 0n the gas...
