Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yesterday I had a great opportunity to drive a couple of exotic cars on the race track. It was not a great deal of track time, I did about 20 laps. I split my time between an Audi R8 V10 and a Ferrari 458 Italia. I was hoping to get some time behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Superleggera, but at 6'4" I couldn't fit in it while wearing a helmet.
Both cars were fantastic, but the Ferrari felt much more like a race car. Both cars had paddle shifters, and this was my first time to drive a car with proper paddle shifters on the track. It was really fun and I can definitely see the advantage of the dual-clutch sequential gearbox for track applications. My only other comment about the Ferrari is: holy sh*t that thing is fast! It was actually a little scary until I got used to it...
The transmission in the Ferrari was fantastic. The Audi was good, but the sifts were much slower than the Ferrari. In the Ferrari, upshifts and downshifts were almost instant as soon as you hit the paddle.
The place we drove the cars can be found here:

(nerd on) The 458 shifts at 20ms, which is virtually instantaneous. The 430 (the previous iteration) shifted at 60ms, which is as fast as a human blinks, for comparison, and still ridiculous fast. The gearbox in the 458 is the best I have ever seen or driven, and made me want a F1 style paddle shifter for the first time in my life.
(nerd off) Also, chicks dig it.
It was less expensive than you might think. All in, it was roughly $600. Well worth it.
We didn't get up to any crazy speeds. My maximum speed in the Ferrari was 122mph. The impressive thing was the braking. I did almost 3 Gs during hard braking after the straight. The Ferrari was literally violent I'm acceleration, cornering and braking.
I'm ready to go again...
