SF90 incomming

You won’t have this problem with Elite, and I would imagine with Topaz. As I said before, complete waste of money going for the Ferrari or Porsche Factory PPF options, leave to the PPF specialists. Elite are quite incredible how they do it, you really question if they have done it, but they will show you.

 

Thanks Guys, that’s really helpful, any preference between Topaz and Elite, know that Topaz is supposedly “self healing” not sure about Elite

 

Elite is self healing, but I’m still a bit dubious of these claims from all of them. It’s Elite for me, but Topaz is logistically better for you as your car is from HR OWEN. I’ve seen both companies services and Elite are a level up to me with regards to application and the invisibility. The kicker for me was another car dealer told me Horatio Pagani tried out 4 UK fitters, and endorsed Elite for Pagani Cars. Of course doesn’t mean Pagani owners can’t take their cars to any one else. Will depend on where you live as well, either North or South London, so that you can use their car washing detailing services after you have had your PPF’d. Anyway enough of my posts on this, I was just replying to your initial request about the factory option, which you should forget completely, either don’t have PPF or leave it to a PPF specialist after delivery.

 

Thanks that’s been really helpful, I have removed PPF from my spec and will go with one of these guys

 

Thanks, good to know about the Tyres, I’ve always made that change on all my cars before..

 

I also wonder what you think of the change of tires in street driving. I think on the SF90 the Cup tires might really be needed. I think part of it is the stiffer sidewalls- but Im not sure.

 

Massive understeer there. Deffo stick with the cup2… remember it’s got a good few kgs behind it that want to go straight on. You could also consider a change to the geometry to give stronger front end….maybe result in more lively back end though, but maybe that’s ok.

 

when is your second SF90 being built? Will that one be kept in a different location?

 

Sounds like you are really experiencing your SF90 as relatively few get the opportunity to do on track!
I remember originally you were not sure if you would ultimately enjoy this new kind of Ferrari and went with a 'simple' build specification. Did you order anything more ambitious with your second chance SF90? How about the Assetto Fiorano package? Much discussion of what you have to give up to choose this option.

 

Nero Daytona is perfect it gives a more interesting tone to the color than plain Nero does. Definitely silver wheels for the contrast to. Hopefully you will see a difference to the handling with the AF package and those special Multimatic shocks.
The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 back in 2014 was the first production car in North America to utilize those Multimatic shocks. Thank you for your detailed reply!

 

Should be here sometime next month. I think.

Do you guys know, generally how long until delivery after VIN allocation?

 

Simple answer - “forever”

In all seriousness, my SF90 Stradale went 10R in the MODAS system and a VIN showed up not too long after ~March/early April. They rather quickly seem to assign a chassis with a VIN. Add an extra month to be safe on average to the build process if you have an Extracompanario color or any additional painted accents typically (those cars seem to move down the line slower). My car was built June/July, on the water in transport for all of August to the east coast of the US, disappointingly took a little over 5 weeks to get through Port/Customs/PDI, and just showed up at the dealership last Thursday (Oct 7th).

Geographic location dependent, supply chain disruptions, and port of entry efficiency - I usually ballpark 5 months.

Can’t wait to see your build.

 

Thank you for the info.
Dealer said the car went into production and was getting painted, the build will be completed at the end of November (they estimate) with delivery most likely Jan 2022.
Really looking forward to seeing it myself.

 

an SF90 is for sale at Ferrari Beverly Hills, but not advertised.

 

My Spider is at Status 70, I should receive it in Jan 2022.
Much faster than I’ve originally anticipated which is great because I’ve placed the order (for the coupe, later changed to spider) back in 2019.
