I semi-daily drive a DuoSelect Quattroporte, but usually in light traffic. The clutch-eating problem is sorta inherent to the car. First off, it uses extra clutch to smooth out shifts in non-sport mode, and you don't always want sport mode because it stiffens the suspension a lot. But even in sport, you can't always get it to behave predictably. So given an experienced driver with both cars in city traffic, the DuoSelect will eat clutch faster than a stick. Some install an aftermarket box (Formula Dynamics) to improve this, but still.

Idk how the Ferraris are different. They're lighter at least. Think they also have a different version of the "Superfast" software.

Anyway... I do engine-brake it. The real brakes appreciate not having to stop that limo by themselves.

Forgot to clarify, there is a clutch-eating problem when driving the car properly, but it's not THE clutch-eating problem people talk about where it dies in 10-15K miles from treating the car as a regular automatic.
