    Let's wait for the G Roadster, and then check our knees.

    I think the 360 Spider is much better looking than the Gallardo. I'm not too big on the 360's front end, but the Imola spoiler can fix that. And then there's Novitec's twin supercharger option too. If I were to use it as a daily driver though... I'd get the G with E-gear, no doubt. In black or red though.

    When choosing between a Ferrari 360 Modena and a Lamborghini Gallardo, my mind screams Lambo but my heart shouts Ferrari.

    Like all hopeless romantics, i will follow my heart on this one.

    So you can be sure you will never have to be sorry for that decision.

    About the E-gear, it somewhat (emphasis on somewhat) angers me that all these car companies are using the paddle shift. It was ferrari that brought paddle shift to market first, before BMW, and certainly Lambo!

    Re: You've made your decision between G and Turbo and then...

    Sounds like Ferrari elitism to me.

    Technology moves on. Jaguar had disc brakes before Ferrari, for example, and Ferrari just HAD to start using them or continue losing races. Not a directly corresponding analogy, but you understand what I mean.

    When is a auto manufacturer going to offer a true sequential (racing) box?

    PS:

    Another series questions: which company actually came up with the road car system? Was it Ferrari that asked Magnetti-Mirelli to develop the F1 box for them, or did MM come up with it on their own, since they also supply to Aston and BMW (Z4)? Which came first, BMW SMG1 or Ferrari F1?

    It doesn't make me really angry, and I do understand the nessecity for improvement. I know Toyota offers the MR2 with a true MANUAL sequential gear box.
