    New 550 got here last night, it's gorgeous! first impressions:

    1.car pulls like a freight train, Much different than my GT2 which winds up like a sewing machine on red bull, the power in this car is NOW!

    2. Much too quiet!! sounds like a Mercedes, working on fixing that right now.

    3. Looks even better than pics, does not have a bad angle anywhere!

    4. Corners much flatter than expected. On sport mode, its on rails, can't imagine how it will be with FHP package!

    Bottom line...LOVE IT!

    Congrats on a lovely car.


    When you install the FHP, perhaps you'll have time to mow that grass (just joking...)

    Congratulations. Great car, great pics.

    Got my Rosso / Crema 550 in August, now I'm inspired to post some pics!! (if I can work out how)

    Added some wheel spacers to mine and am very pleased with the results.

    Cheers

    Your 550 is a beauty! Only needs an aftermarket exhaust and your set to go.

    Had to be a smart allec there, but in all do seriousnous congrats on getting your Ferrari 550. Honestly Porsches are great cars but you will find yourself smiling time and time again in the Ferrari unless you start to have reliability issues which isn't as common as some people make it sound.

    I agree with you on the stock pipes, they are way too quiet. A Ferrari is supposed to have a hell of a lot of sound coming from them.

    Cheers.
