They change in and out, left and right with tire manufacturers it seems almost everyday. I would venture to guess at one point a Bridgestone equipped car came out of the factory, but I can't think of one off hand. | ||

Bret - Is there a Street Ferrari that comes stock with Bridgestone/Firestone tires? Also does it count that I have the same brake (pad) MFG that the Ferrari F1 Team does? Ok I haven't put them on yet...but I'm gonna! -Ben | ||

Rim manufacturer (at least the 360 Challenge rims), tire manufacturer, like you said ignition (magneti marelli), etc. The F1 team uses virtually all the same companies as the street cars, they just use the companies' extreme products. | ||

Brian I'd venture to guess: Name, logo, and brand of fluids? Maybe ignition systems manufacturer? Paint Color? -Ben | ||

From what I can tell they use the same badges on the F1 cars. The cars are always underweight and have to be ballasted anyways so they can probably spare a few grams for mystique and do it right. | ||

I don't know Brian, you think they use the same badging technology? I would guess badges on the road cars would be to heavy for the f1 car its probably painted. At least the name is the same.  | ||

If they finish every remaining race this season with the same result, I for one will not be complaining. Seriously though, the 2002 car seems to be more fuel efficient and appears to have more horses. | ||

Brothers and Sisters, What an organization, team and drivers Ferrari has. Nothing but true hard commitment that is second to none. Makes you feel good that these kinds of efforts also bled into our cars. Joe  |
