F1 Gearbox: Am I a joke to you. - Love how relaxed the owner is though while you're driving his car.

[@vtech5635]

Speaking as a former F430 coupe owner, those were just Manual gearbox equipped with a computer program to "punch the clutch" when shifting gear. It's just F1 Style paddle shift AMT gearbox, neither of Ferrari production cars are using actual F1 Gearbox.

[@herberthans7015]

The YT algorithm was made by prehistoric apes indeed but "small children" don't watch this? The color of this car, the fact that it has a manual gearbox, everything is perfect, but then I skip through the video and only see some dudes face. No thanks. Why in the hell would you floor the car while recording your face and then go 20mph while recording the POV @ 14:14? It makes absolutely no sense to me. You can talk all you want, that's fine, but if there's not at least 1 entire minute of driving footage, which means NOT showing facecam footage while flooring it then I'm just gonna dislike the video. He put in some effort, and when I saw the POV footage I almost subscribed but in the end all the facecam footage completely ruined it for me, I rather watch onboard footage without words in them than YT garbage, and I rather watch TST one takes than car reviews. Not talking about this channel, I have other people such as Salomondrin in mind when I talk about stupid garbage car content. I'm a driver and already know plenty about these cars so I don't need to hear about them but I need to hear the engine and see the driver interactions (POV). Drift that thing while recording POV footage and I'll sub for life, show me your face while flooring it and I'm going to leave a dislike before leaving. I'm a simple man, and certainly not a small child. If I can go out and produce a more exciting video using a damn 1 litre hatchback then your content is garbage (again, not talking about this here), but of course not everyone can use all the performance of the car to make it do what it was built to do, which is driving fast as hell, and from what I can tell most people, certainly all small kids, don't even want to see that simple onboard (POV) driving footage. They rather look at someones face and listen to them yell or talk. In my personal opinion (not a fact) this trend or target audience (yt is full of teens/children) has reduced the quality of automotive journalism because I now get clowns doing car reviews instead of calm racing drivers. When I say clowns I mean specific german journalists who always exaggerate their emotions or act stupid. Edit: Just wanted to make sure my comment isn't disrespectful because it includes critic about this video but then I started writing about other channels which produce garbage content, waste my time, include clowns who try way to hard, or are simply produced to gain exposure by abusing cars and so on. Some people like cars but don't even like driving, and they are starting to create youtube channels just like car enthusiasts, so obviously I'm going to be disgusted by some channels and find other ones with an entirely different audience. TL;DR -> This video needed WAY more POV footage, but there are MANY many much worse YT car channels so I'm not complaining but simply leaving, just wanted to let you know why I can't watch this despite not being a small child.

My perfect car, in the best colour combo and spec. TDF blue, cream, manual 😍

[@bryancohn9406]

Sam, the shop that did the conversion is Black Horse Motorwerks LLC in Bucyrus, Kansas, a southern suburb of the Kansas City metro area. Amongst the many cool cars out of their shop is a 458 GT3 Spec race car that the owner uses on track days. I saw the car Saturday running at the Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival, where I was racing my Sentra SE-R. The shop has an unmatched group of customers with amazing cars, many of which are used on track. Glad you were able to find the car and have a go! Enjoy your travels in the Colonies! 😉

[@GTIracerr]

What a beautiful car! Lovely colour as well. The enjoyment was visible on your face. Well done!

[@magnacars]

A little history behind this car. It was converted to a manual by Blackhorse motorworks in Byrus Kansas by @ “the chazz” (the middle of nowhere) using all Ferrari parts except for one they had to fabricate (I forget which part.) before 2016 for an ex-Belgian racing driver who almost daily drove it for quite a while. I believe he used to have a kid in a baby seat and take him around in it to run errands. He later got rid of it for a black Superformance GT40 (& not sure about the FF bit). It actually has no stripe & last time I thought it had around 30-40k mikes.

[@jaferkhan4108]

Sam, you'd almost cried at the end of the video, I can see how close the CS is to you... I hope you get one for you

[@supercarspecifics]

I would love to choose manual , but in 2017 I fell 3 story's at my work and lost use of my feet so I am stuck with choice of only paddle's , but instead of dwelling on my situation I now have a youtube channel witch has afforeded me some rare opportunity's like starting & revving pirelli edition adventador or getting to film a super rare ROSSO FUACO red FERARRI LA FERARRI with FXXK rims . you & shmee inspired me to start a channel , THANK YOU & maybe see you in toronto CONGRAT'S ON YOUR SUCCESS

Your geeky type of Ferrari knowledge and historical info is really impressive and you can see that your enjoyment is genuine. Surprised you are not a brand ambassador for either Ferrari or Porsche with the level of promotion and focus that you put on these brands in your amazing content!

[@KeithSwear]

Having never driven a flappy paddle gearbox, my vote would have to be the manual CS. Awesome content as always, and loving the soundtrack too!

[@slytherben]

This is my favorite video in a long time, by anyone. James is too much lifestyle and doesn't really critique cars anymore.
