F1 360 or Manual?

I don't dispute the difficulty of manual gear changes, especially while high performance driving. I too after three years and almost 13K miles still miss a gear here and there. Also notable is everyone whom I spoke, with the F1 box likes the set up; but in some cases they had to take the car in for a bit of software adjustment to suit their personal driving style which is great. The manual is infinitely programmable to suit your preference in any situation. Here’s a story you may get a kick out of, my buddy and I were driving on Woodside road (west of I280) merging into I280 south, he was driving his F1 and I was driving the manual in my car. Imagine an orange and a red 360Modena flying through a mile of freeway. We were floored all the way through 6th gear (going through all gears, 2nd-6th) we hit over 155MPH and then slowed to exit at Sand Hill road. It was too much fun and showed how similar the cars are. I kept an eye on him in the rear view mirror and our distance practically never changed. Afterwards he said if there had been any hesitation on my part to shift gears or lift off throttle he would have run into me (I really don't recommend this exercise, specially on public roads). Differences aside, I am sure we all agree 360Modena is a great car no matter what options it is fitted from factory.

I found out that Sears Point Track event is only a couple of hours a day. I am verifying that but with all the stuff going on the track the limited time makes sense. But I am pretty sure we will see some awesome vintage Ferraris. There was a 250 GTO that was lapping a couple of race spec Ferraris last year. I also saw a 50’s Testorossa (I think 56 or 57) which came in 3rd in that year in Le Mans. It will be great weekend.
