My Getrag DCT in the M3 has stalled several times in tight spots and stop lights (dangerous). Same manufacturer as the Cali and Italia DCT. 2 software upgrades were installed, after the last upgrade it hasn't stalled anymore. It still refuses to downshift from high RPM (the Scuderia does it without any trauma). I hope Ferrari and Getrag get it right in 2011/2012 when the time is due for their RS/Stradale/Scuderia version of the Italia.

Ive never had problems at stop lights, just parking, ie garages, the system doesn't like to be forced to ride the clutch that much. I asked a mechanic at ferrari in passing and he said it was normal.

Thanks for the info i'll check into it further.

The thing that is violated when your wife catches you with your mistress.

Boundaries are like the red and white curbs, only they mark the line between good and bad taste or worse, between sanity and insanity

The Stradale (and all 360s) are also not engine out. It is accurate to say the F430 family does not require a belt change (chain drive), and the Stradale/360 does, but it is done from inside the car.

I have never seen a scuderia at the track being driven well, or even driven for that matter

I have seen lots of fellow nutcases hauling around in GT3s, RS or otherwise

If you plan to track it at all don't get the F car
