Sean Connery gets a call from his agent one day. The agent goes "Sean, I've got you a job - starts tomorrow, early. You'll have to be there for 10-ish". Sean furrows his brow and says "Tennish? but I dont even have a racket."

Yeah, the ominous glint of anthracite-coloured wheels would complete the black car much better. And the prancing horse emblem needs to be powder coated black too. The black car is very sexy. The red one looks like a tart's handbag, IMO. |

I think those wheels work much better on a red car than, say, black, where you need to find something a bit more reserved and subtle. --Dan |

The rear wings just shout "Look at me...I can FLY!" :-) Leave those for the ricers... |

575 GTC? Where do I put a deposit? I like the previous 550 GTO rendition we had earlier. --Dan |

That 360 kit is like $18K with out the wing (I think)! That's nutty, but it sure looks good. I'm not a huge fan of wings, but I think it makes the car look even better. Luke. |

I'm with you Will... A sort of 575 GTC..... I'd buy one without thinking. |

It looks like an afterthought on the 550; perhaps body color would help, but the 550 is a big, fat car. Much more would need to be done to make it a serious racer in my humble opinion. I'm of the impression that the prodrive car only barely resembles a 550 after they are done, and that's largely a cosmetic similarity. I would love to see ferrari make a decontented 12 racer type car for the road, street legal, in addition to the 12 cyl. GT cars they currently make. Yeah, i know, that's what the Enzo is about, but, c'mon, i think they could do what i'm talking about, nothing "space-age," for a whole lot less. Make the car smaller, less cushy, toss the radio, get rid of the over-assisted power steering; strip out as much weight as possible; racing seats, stiffer suspension, and did i say, less weight and bulk? They'd sell like hotcakes... |

What's the first rule of Italian driving? " What's behind you is not important!" I think the wing is a bit much. |

Is that the Imola kit? Oh man, I LOVE what they do for the 360s!!! The wing even looks stunning.

Isn't that spoiler going to be an impediment to rear view? Makes it kind of useless. --Dan |

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder- and this beholder thinks it looks awful! Jeez, and some guys on the board complain about the integrated spoilers on the P-cars! |

I love the stance......Martin, whats been done to it besides the obvious....any engine upgrades? Who did the body work? Basically what are the new specs on that baby? I would love to do that to my 575M.....except the spoiler of course! |

I kinda like the chin spoiler. Either paint the wing red, or loose the wing. |

I'm sorry, I don't like spoilers AT ALL!! I'm all for customizing, or personalizing, but spoilers just look yucky. Totally detract from the beauty of the car.......I can see it on a Challenge car or a race car.....obvious performance issues.......other than that......YUCK! IMHO.... |

Nice Martin, I will be back in Miami around Aug 14 when law school starts. Did you get the Trans Am Jaguar yet ? I wouldn't just cus its a nightmare to maintain. How is your 308GT4 racer coming along ? Hot enough in Miami for you ?  |
