The F1's automated sequential manual transmission with its shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel has been upgraded. The time it takes to nip between ratios has been cut from 150 milliseconds to just 60 — providing you have at least 5,000 rpm on the tach and the throttle pressed more than halfway down (which, let's face it, will probably be most of the time). For comparison, the Enzo-evolution FXX bangs through its shifts in 80 milliseconds, while Ferrari's F1 cars have got it down to between 30 and 40 milliseconds.

Look at the front carbon-ceramic brake discs with six-piston calipers for evidence of the F430 Scuderia's ability to expand the envelope of speed. The front rotors now measure 15.7 inches in diameter (compared to the 15.0-inch rotors of the standard F430) and they barely fit within the 19-inch wheels.
front brakes are almost the same size as the rims currently on my wrx
