Ron- All the early 612s and Superamericas had F1A, recognizable from other F1 systems by a shifter handle and plate which allows selection of 1st gear and not just reverse. The Dec 2017 date refers to when the updated non-OTO HGT2 612s would reach owners. The OTOs did not reach customers until around Spring 2008 and the factory description of what was coming is dated 21 January 2008. Min shift time on the Superfast I is in Sport mode at high rpms and full throttle and is 100 ms, same as the 599. For F1A prior to the 599 updates, min shift times varied from 180 ms in 2005 to around 125 ms in late 2007. The Sessantas were the only 2007 612s with all the 599 features and can be thought of as the prototypes for the OTO.

Your quickness on the paddles has nothing to do with the speed of shifts. All the paddles do is tell the TCU to shift and it takes over from there. Fastest shifting in all F1 Ferraris is in Sport (Race for some where Sport is the normal mode) and full throttle at high revs. Sport (Race) mode also speeds up shifts in auto using the same criteria.

Thanks very much Taz. I will post this in the other thread for the benefit of others.

I have a 2006 612 HGTS manual - silverstone/charcoal daytona seats with silverstone straps, yellow calipers and tachometer, shields, rear parking sensors with 7000mi. purchased in 2007. It is in service this week getting 5000mi service, new tires/TPMS. Very excited to get it back next week. Great car that is a keeper -- I suspect is a unique US car since I've never encounters this color and desirable spec.

An HGTS manual. That is a rare beast. Congratulations. Must be a lovely car to drive. I write as the owner of a manual 575 with Fiorano Handling Pack, a sibling car. I have been tempted by manual 612s but as someone observed, they tend to be early cars without HGTS.

Completely agree! Didn’t even know there were any such unicorns!

Car is back now after $16,000 of service. It drives like a brand new car. So happy!
