ferrari f1 paddles on rx8
i was just thinking the other day if it woulda been easier to get an automatic rx8 rather than stick. my dad bought a ferrari with F1 paddle shifter and i knew that the rx8 had shifters as well but 4. i thought itd be pretty cool( if i had goten a/t ) if you took off the 4 shifters (2 up 2 down) and put the ferrari F1 style shifters on there
i couldnt really find a good picture of a ferrari shifter so i put a bmw one on there but same thing. instead of 2 up 2 down one up and one down and alot bigger paddles
just thought id put it out there maybe someone wants to try it i think itd be cool

Not saying that the Ferrari is 10 times faster but I don't think the 8 is 10 x faster than the Ferrari...
Don't forget to mention what has to be done for the 30,000 mile maintenance on the Ferrari.
Anyone know?

Not that I am bragging but I work for Ferrari and the maintenance varies per vehicle. Some services do require the engine to be pulled down, some just the plugs, I.e. the 430. But the price range can go from $400 for an oil change up to $1000+. The timing belt has to be changed every two years, which can run on average $6,800 dollars. The clutch on many of the f1s have to be changed so often because a lot of the drivers do not drive them properly. You cannot cruise slow in first at a take off, or traffic because it slips the clutch at take off. That is when the main wear takes place. On the paddles it probably cannot be done since the Ferraris are connected to a switch directly where as the mazdas have two different switches on each side. None the less, if you can "afford" the ferrari, you do not worry about the price of maintenance. So which Ferrari did your dad purchase?
