99.1% of Ferraris sold, have the dual clutch gearbox. They have just about stopped offering manuals. All the future cars, are going to be some type of DSG.

For emissions, to get these powerful cars to pass emissions, they have to take control of the transmission away from the driver.

The manual gearbox is a dieing feature. If you want a manual, you will have to buy a classic car.

Ferrari will no longer offer road cars with the traditional manual transmission. F1 is faster than you can shift.

We don't have a speed limiter in the US. The factory cars will do 193 mph. The speed limiter is a local thing.

Only in Japan. Not in the US. I don't think they have one in Australia or New Zealand.

Wow I didn't know this. Thats pretty sucky for anyone that lives in Japan and bought one.

Do you really need to go faster than 112 mph on the street?

[asoomal]

2WD mode as you can chose which wheels?

[Dittoz7]

~$100,000 FWD GT-R, lol.

[tyndago]

Yes

In the US, we don't have the limiter, so the point is moot.

I was born in Christchurch. I was down in the South Island last year.

You won't have an issue with 112 mph with an R35.

Anybody know how comfortable the GTR is if you are 6'-2" Tall? I bought a 350z when they first came out but it wasn't that comfortable.
