I'm looking to trade my Noble M12 GTO3R for a 360 Spider -- do I go for an F1 box or manual ? I seem to get different advice from everybody but the thing that keeps getting mentioned is the fact that F1 boxes get through clutches at an alarming rate -can anyone advise please .Cheers.

Had my 360 F1 8 years, its just about due for its 2nd Clutch change after about 27k miles. Clutch and Clutch bearing change is about £1k ish

With regards to F1 vs Manual, no one can tell you what to go for, its 100% personal. Test drive them both, several times if you have to and make up your own mind.

i have a 360 manual,
i drove both and even though i was already leaning towards the manual it helped my decision immensely

as has been said above, drive them both, it's purely down to how you feel about it.

when i say drive, make sure it's more than just a quick 5 mins round the corner

Is that why you sold your manual Ferrari and want to buy an F1 360 CS old timer ?

ps - the Auto button is optional !!!!
