    I have near new Cup2’s on mine and they do take a while to get up to temp so have to be careful when tires are cold. It’s very easy to kick out the tail loose when not warm.

    Congrats! It’s been my favorite spec out there for quite some time. I’ve been tracking it for years!

    Man you spend $400,000 and only drive your car for 700 miles. I don't get it, I guess if you have stupid money you do stupid things?

    Major congratulations, big guy! Pozzi blue is one of my favorite colors. Those seats are the bomb! Best looking Speciale I've seen. Please more pics of that gorgeous F-car, if the sun ever comes out again here in DFW!

    I agree with Ferrari in that new tires now are unnecessary. As far as the alignment it was a good idea. A proper alignment is mandatory to get the best performance out of a new car. Your Speciale is beautiful and would get to driving it as a five year old car with that low mileage is at risk of developing issues that are not covered by any service policy. Driving more often is good medicine for the car and for you. Good luck!

    Hope you can get some miles on it today, looks like yesterday was rain. We are clearing up here after a week of rain and clouds most of the time.

    Indeed. Had the Cali out this morning. Glorious sunshine has returned. But, be careful, temps still a little too cool to push the F-car. So, you'll just have to putter around the Metroplex in your sexy new ride. Enjoy...T

    I’ve been using the Porsche roads apps but Tom is there a nice hilly curvy road for me to hit up this afternoon? I haven’t found any amazing roads even with the app

    Talk to Steve F! He knows all the good roads. I tend to drive to the north and west. Less traffic, less rock haulers, just the occasional farmer in a slow moving pickup truck (they tend to move over) & fracking trucks (). Some fun roads up near Muenster, esp. toward the Red River. Last time I drove up there, most of the road construction was completed...T

    Not seen that spec before, any chance of interior photos top of dashboard and facing the seats/Cavallino, is it a Tailor Made model?

    Congratulations, hope you drive her more than the previous owner did!

    So... I just put 100 miles on the car. It’s addicting, telepathic, engaging, visceral, crazy fast, and ridiculously amazing. I have a pilots license and driving this car is the closest thing to flying I have ever experienced. It’s precise, beautiful, sonorous and absolutely amazing. It is the best car I have ever driven. The power and torque delivery is epic. The noise is ridiculous. The car is beautiful. More detailed analysis to come later. Thanks for your comments everyone!
