Ferrari F430 Manual - One Take

Matt gets some coveted seat time in a 2006 Ferrari F430 with a 6-speed manual gearbox. These cars will become increasingly valuable as the F1's gearbox gets more and more outdated with the passing of time, and it's a genuine treat to go for a blast up the canyon in one.

Taking away all the manual ferraris is something Emperor Palpatine would do

Alright enough dreaming about these things, time to get off my butt and start working for one!

[rcfrenzy]

This is one of the only "one takes" where the car looks like it easily handles the speed and curves, I mean it is a ferrari and all.

The cyclist that you turned in front called the other cyclist and said, hey there is a A-hole coming down the hill in a red Ferrari hold him up.

Great car! Good to see a stick. I love how on these cars EVERYTHING is covered in leather, looks like a quality item which will be timeless

The last best Ferrari, the one I would sell a limb to acquire. Nothing beats a Ferrari with a stick shift gearbox, and the F430 is a masterpiece.

No no manual f430s are way more than 100k. They're the last manual v8 ferrari. it's going to be an instant collectors car

Nice job Matt. You and Chris Harris seem to be the only journalists at the moment actually conveying a real passion for the cars you're getting the privilege to drive. Love it! Awesome work dude!

I always like the ones with Matt by himself more. Great, as usual.

You can tell how confidence inspiring the car is by how fast Matt goes :)
Clearly the Ferrari rocks!

Matt, I'm only about 4.35 into this so far and just had to pause it and say, man: this is a breath of fresh air to hear someone talking like this about a stick shift. I too think these paddle shifts are so crap. Real drivers all want a manual shift WITH a clutch pedal. You have so much more control of the vehicle that way. Good stuff!!!

So a quick, stable, reliable, inexpensive, practical, long lasting, easy to drive, great sounding, and ridiculously fun Ferrari for just $100, 000?  Damn.

[islamicsalami]

Oh man. Between this one and the 355 that you drove. Beautiful!

I couldn't turn my headphones up loud enough! That sound is amazing!

Outstanding car :) Forget stats but the experience rowing thru the gears listening to that symphony at your own pace is priceless. Thanks for sharing Matt.

Bicyclists shouldn't hog the whole damn lane except when necessary. Yes, there's a time and place for that type of thing, then there's just being a douche.

Such a good video. Thanks Matt! Watching this made my heart race. Loved the audio quality. Beautiful sounding car. I want one SO bad!!!

[alexcheetah]

Unlimited mile warranty? I call that a challenge!

[pvendeloo]

after driving all those tuner cars this must be heaven to drive a properly put together fast car like it is intended

Very well said on the classic attribute of a manual box...nice vid Matt
