“He’s burned out his clutch repeatedly.

Porsche is the only real sports car company to have figured out how to make something work in real life and the race track.”

Then he’s a moron. The three cars all use basically the sam dual clutch transmissions. High-end performance BMW’s also use the same setup. My neighbor has an M5 and you only have to use the main clutch to get the car under way, the transmission operates it’s own twin clutches to make gear changes. Maybe he drives like a little old lady and pulls the car down the street with the fan while leaving the clutch only partially engaged.

These are an older vintage.

The Ferrari I drove was the Magnum PI variety; the lambo a late 1990s or 2000s bright yellow thing.

I doubt they have a dual clutch transmission.
