Good afternoon! I thought #167583 had grey interior no? Also does anyone know if the fog lights are aftermarket or OEM? I presume they are aftermarket but a confirmation would be nice!

163812 I’m going to write an extensive chronicle of the work. But in the meantime, I will say it has been an absolute pleasure to see Wil and the team at Exoticars USA, Trevor, and Robin make it happen. We went the OEM route.
For your registry, I just put a deposit on the EAG 6 speed conversion kit and picked up a 2007 black/black #155325.
Would love to hear your before and after impressions (especially say 6-12 months down the line when the novelty has worn off a bit). 599 has always thrown up mixed reviews when doing a manual vs F-1 comparison. This is the only pre-DCT car where I am not sure the conversion is warranted...
Joe's car was interesting to do, because what it turned up was that Ferrari never implemented the engine control software correctly on the factory manual cars. Motronic 7 has a function that controls the rate of decay of engine revolutions during gear changes. This was technically active on 599 factory manual cars, but what 360Trev found was that the execution of this command within the firmware had been broken by Ferrari. This, for me, explains some of the complaints I've heard on factory manual cars, whereby there is too little flywheel effect. Reinstating the correct operation of this function has, I'm told, led to it driving perfectly. There was another issue that came up on Joe's car where we found that the factory vibration damper in the gear linkage was deforming quite a lot during changes. You would never normally know this was happening, but Wil observed it from under the car whilst someone changed gears above. By making an upgraded damper,the flex was eliminated and the gear change felt a lot more precise. I'm afraid then Joe that you car isn't fully OEM... it might just be better!
I don't know where the thread is, but there was one started back around 2012 in which the guy said, "Just walk away" about a 599 manual he test drove, and he seemed to have some legit complaints. This might explain it.
The factory stick 599 has some quirks. This shop has done almost 50 ferrari conversions and knows that part of the engineering is fixing some factory flaws. their 559 kit is relatively new but i'm confident and will share updates for sure.

#150861 is now confirmed because it will be for sale by RM Sotheby's at Amelia Island on 21st of May https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/am21/amelia-island/lots/r0019-2007-ferrari-599-gtb/1029370
Certainly will do! Thanks, Robin. With the team behind this one, I think it very well may be the best!
Wow! this is soo interesting to read and makes 100% sense as it addresses every complaint I have heard regarding the 599 manual from people who have driven it. Amazing job guys. No wonder @Qksilver is loving his car. I was a bit sceptical initially about his (early) review but it makes perfect sense now. Thank you for sharing this critical (and thus far missing) piece of information. I have been looking at 599s for along time but never a pre-2008 one that could not be fully upgraded to a HGTE spec. Suddenly those early sub Euro100k 599s start to look very interesting
Finally saw the famous GTO conversion everyone was talking about, on Instagram! What a spec too! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my MI 8 Lite using FerrariChat.com mobile app
