First of all, I am the driver of the F430 in this clip. I already own a Modena F1 and a Maranello 550, not to mention some other performance cars.
So I know very well how to drive.

And once I found a strip I punched it to 200KM/H in the CITY. That is not enough for you guys????

And last but not least, I was shifting a lot because I wanted to test the transmission. As a current Modena F1 owner, I wanted to know the good and bad things about the new transmission when compared to the Modena.

I don't know why people are flaming you that you can't drive. Sorry rossi and the others but I tried hard, I watched the video twice and all I can actually see in this video is two guys playing around with a F430 on a test drive. Nothing more and nothing less. It is impossible to tell ANYTHING about the driver's driving skills from this video. Honestly.

rossi, I think he's just playing with the paddles, right. He's switching shifting modes too, just playing around. I would do the same at the beginning, especially since this is something pretty new.
And the city is definetely no place for a testdrive, although I would love to take a Carrera GT for a testdrive in a city to verify the claims of some owners who don't like the clutch.

I managed to feel the difference upshifting and downshifting when I was testing the car on that speed. It is clearly visible in the clip. The shifting was FAST and that was because I had "Race" engaged.

What really would concern is the difference between the F1 of the Modena, the F1 of the Challenge Stradale and the F1 of the F430. Any comments?
