Jim, think i saw u in the p4/5 today on I84...

looked amazing...i noticed 2 cars in front of me breaking their necks to get a look...what a treat!

 

That was me.

 

I haven't had the pleasure of spotting it

 

I still hope to see it one day...

 

So Jim how many miles do you have on that thing now? Do you take it on a lot of small but frequent trips or do you go for long more spaced out drives? Do you ever just take it for a milk run, etc.? Whats the funniest story you have taken home from the car and what is your favorite part of the car? Your least, is there anything you wish you would have done different? Ok sorry for the interview. Have a great day!

 

Close to 5K miles. I like to take longer drives. Longest so far in one day was 400 miles from Lake Como to Modena back to Turin. I do take her out for dinner with my wife. Favorite thing is how she drives and how comfortable she is to drive.

I didn't like the exhausts but we changed those and now I do. I'll keep making minor changes as I get new ideas.

I guess I'm interested in the driving dynamics. Jim, does the car drive much differently than an Enzo? I understand it's much lighter.

Hate to prolong the "interview", but I am genuinely curious. Thanks

 

Yes it's a lot different. It has much more tire which helps the front turn in and has more traction in rear which makes it easier to drive in Race Mode. It brakes much better because of less weight and with less front over hang is easier to drive on the street and into driveways.

At very high speed the balanced aero makes it feel more stable.

 

That's what I have always admirred about you Jim, how you take the time to always answer people's questions.
So what's next on the choping block do you see yourself going to this extreme with the next hypercar you get?

 

Nothing to report...yet.

 

If you should ever take it for a ride out to the hamptons, please post it as I would love to see it in person as well.

 

I've been fortunate enough to see Jim's P4/5 on a few occasions. Car fanatic or not - this car will certainly grab your attention. It's an absolutely brilliant piece of machinery...

Some pics I took from this past Sunday's Universal event:

 

Missed it in Manhasset concours last time... One day...
