Re: New mid engine Corvette. July 18th.
Off the reservation with this question:
Ferrari goes to Fiat, takes the platform for the 4C and makes a modern Dino, take the QV TT 2.9 engine and detunes it to 400 hp and offers it with a 6 spd manual....what's the take rate? Over 50%, under 50% or 50% itself

Ferrari is no longer a part of Fiat. They were spun off as an independant organization in 2016. Ferrari finally splits from Fiat-Chrysler Side note: this is why they are ending their engine relationship with Maserati. Who knows what this means for the Gulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio whose engine block is a Ferrari V8 minus two cyclinders.
I have a feeling even in the world of Ferrari's if they offer any manuals the take rate is REALLY low. Somewhere I thought I read the take rate on Corvettes with manuals was pretty high, but I don't remember the source. Likewise the M2 has pretty high rates and in the US the M3/4 have high enough take rates in manuals BMW is still offering them despite world-wide rates being really low. The US is an outlier, but at least the new G80 generation will continue to offer a manual and a DCT.
