GATED FERRARI DREAM! Hoovie's Manual Swap Ferrari 599 GTB

[@jtwig9311]

I like hoovie..hes not a supercar nutrider. He like all cool cars.

[@johnoconnor3947]

A 599 and a 458 Speciale.... All the Ferrari you would ever need. And this guy, Hoovie, he has a perfect eye for future classics.

Front engine v12 Ferrari’s are always great. The GTO’s were so good

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

A lovely conversation between two gentlemen. I think Hoovie met his match. I hope to see the both of you more often.

[@RocMaster48]

The 599 is super underrated, especially since it has a enzo V12

[@lrfcarreviews2570]

I didn’t even realize it has an Enzo V12!!

[@Stijn5]

And?

[@sam0wings]

@@Stijn5and? The Enzo is one of the greatest Ferrari’s ever produced. Also for what they are, the 599’s are hugely undervalued. You can get them for a decent price.

[@Stijn5]

@@sam0wings The Enzo certainly isn't one of the greatest Ferrari's ever produced. Just because they were very expensive doesn't make them great cars. By the way, more than half the appeal of a Ferrari are the looks, an Enzo looks like utter garbage.

Kudos for Hoovie and his 599 spec. The color, the interior and the convertion into a proper, manuel shifted car it's wonderful.

I really like that 599, manual swaps in cars like these are going to make them more valuable. I'm thinking about doing that to my 2015 Vanquish, if I can find a 7-speed dogleg from a Vantage S.

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

Dde just got two 599’s swapped to manual. So people still doing them. Eag is the company

[@brogenville]

They are the company you need to avoid.

[@kingrabbit101]

@@brogenville what? They make all them. They just did another one on vintras 360 on his KZbin and partnered with a installer in la to install them. They’re killing it. The two they did on ddes Ferraris has been heavily abused and holding strong.

[@rubenflores4247]

@@brogenvillewhy, what is the problem with them? I was considering using them. Thanks

[@brogenville]

@@rubenflores4247 worth having a read about them on Ferrari chat; it’s fair to say they’ve had some ups and downs. What’s impossible to deny is the console looks very different to the correct OEM manual console, and indeed the setup they use is very different to the OEM setup on the mechanical side too.

When your driving license is a critical part of your job, you don't fuck around with driving fast on the roads. Same for me, if I want to drive Vmax, there are unrestricted Autobahns nearby. I don't speed on the limited roads.

Tim I hope this is on your wide radar: 1000+ bhp hybrid Corvette Zora development (2026-27?) because test cars are being tested alongside two SF90 examples. An American SF90 would just rattle some cages (and windows) and it just might be under $200K.

[@erkkavilhunen4916]

Conversion kits will be available again. There are companies working on it. Market is too large to leave it alone. 355, 360, 575, 599, 612 all will be done in large numbers simply because how it feels to drive manual box car. When expensive F1 mechanism eventually fails it almost makes financial sense to do conversion even if resale value do not change.

[@Usandoval18]

[@pbettencourt1]

Great to see 2 of my favorite u tubers together

[@narrowistheway77]

Fun fact, the 575 Maranello and 599 GTB with the F1 gear box are actually using a manual transaxle already, they just have robots built around the transaxle that engage the clutch and change the gears for you and they weigh around 200+ lbs more because of those robots. So if you want a manual transmission conversion, all you need to do is remove those robots, remove the paddles, add in the clutch/shifter linkages, add the clutch peddle, and install the gated shifter. The transmission is already in the car, you don’t need to source it from a wrecked manual transmission, it’s the same transaxle in both cars 😉👍🏼

[@rustler08]

Fun fact, that's literally what they were discussing. F1 automated manuals are manual transmissions that use a computer and a hydraulic system to actuate the gears. That's why the conversions are possible.

[@narrowistheway77]

@@rustler08 I commented this when I started the video before I knew they’d talk about it

[@veemacks7255]

It's a bit weird Tim talking about how enormous the 599 is and taking it out for a drive, when it's 10cm narrower and 30cm shorter than a Purosangue, and Kansas roads have much wider lanes than Britain.

[@phatlaz1974]

That spec is special 👍

[@theswissdriver]

I love manuals, I've had 2 manual 360 still have 1, but having driven both the 430 in manual and the 599, the fact that they drop the revs IMMEDIATLY to 0 when you press the clutch, makes them less enjoyable to drive than the gated modena.

[@kingrabbit101]

Gotta learn to heal toe. Or at least throttle blip between shifts. Or up shift faster. Sounds like you have manuals but dont know how to drive a manual 🤦🏻‍♂️. I’ll explain. Down shift when you put in the clutch, inbetween the tike it takes to go 3 to 2 you tap the throttle a little to match the rpms to vehicle speed in gear. Some its smooth and doesnt grab and burn ur clutch up or cause u to lose control around a corner. Upshifting just put in the clutch and shift up fast and it wont be a issue. They have schools to give you lessons. Think it would help.

[@kingrabbit101]

And fast revving car is a good thing. And see how shmee said you have to shift fast. Then he gets the hang of it and says how good it is. Just learning bud. You’ll get there

[@adzalonie7172]

If I could afford to buy and upkeep your Ferrari as a manual I would too. However in essence changing it to a manual would actually make it slower? We couldn’t shift as quick as a computer, but I suppose you could wind it out, maybe swings and roundabouts. Anyway, long live the manual!!

[@DMBVR4]

It is slower, but it's not about speed anymore. It's about the raw connection with the car that you only get with three pedals.
