Will never track my car. 1. Can’t get insurance that offers value for what I have to pay. 2. If you are really tracking, you are abusing and destroying the car. 3. Here in Colorado, spirited driving can get to the levels of allowing the speciale to demonstrate its skills and talents if you know where to go. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Agree. I love the IDEA of tracking my car but never have with any of them and likely never will as I just can’t abuse these cars. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Airbag deployment has a speed requirement. If the car was hit while stationary airbags would not deploy.
I have had a blast paying to torture someone else’s car and then turning over the keys. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
There’s tracking and there's Tracking..you can do 3 or 4 15 min sessions driving fast around a track to have fun without the annoyance of police and muppet drivers on public roads or you can go every month to the track and drive all day focussed on lap times and launch control. I would have no issue buying a car that has done the former
Agreed. There’s spirited driving on the public roads, spirited driving on a closed course, and pushing your and the cars’ limits on a closed course. No problem with the first 2. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
This line of thinking makes me sad. I guess my Pista is now worthless. It has (by last count) at least 500 hard track miles. Anyone want to take this piece of junk off my hands?
This is a good point…. I rotate cars to take out on a drive or to a cars and coffee. So in reality, I don’t get to put on too many miles on my S. Right now I’m having fun with my 997 GT2RS and CGT [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Absolutely not, I wouldn’t want your Pista. And I wouldn’t marry a retired porn star either. Simple truth is that those 500 track miles are the most expensive miles that you could have driven, relative to the car. I would rather pay less for my track miles. Again, do what you like. This is an argument about value - you are arguing that tracking your pista provides such a high value that you are willing to pay that cost. I am saying that those miles are too expensive for me.
I don’t appreciate that comment at all. Let’s go back a bit and summarize. I made some valid arguments: 1. Tracking a car is risky 2. Tracking a car is expensive 3. I get fair value out of the experience of driving my car by doing just spirited driving. I also made sure to point out that I am not attached to what one does with their ownership. In other words, nothing you do with your car is bad. So, all I said is tracking your car has risk and consequences. I didn’t say you shouldn’t track your car. Your response? I’m sad that you think this way and you must think I have devalued my car to the point of total loss by tracking it. I make a valid argument that your ownership experience is too expensive for me and we see fair value in our ownership experiences differently. Your response is that one should not own these cars unless you track them hard? If you want to argue the points presented, great, I am happy to do so. If you want to try to tell me what car I should own then first justify how you could make such an arrogant statement. Otherwise. Moving on. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Maybe the guys that you have signaled out don't have the means to just write off $ 300- 400 k ? I'm sure and 100% positive you have the means. A car to you is just that a car. Exploit as much as you can and if she goes she goes. We all have DIFFERENT financial scenarios.
Never is a bold word, even after the battery issues you've had... big endorsement of the Pista! That blue is so money
Beautiful spec!! I as well have a coupe, in Azzurro Dino, that I will never sell! I love mine so much that I recently bought a Pista Spider as well in Blu Elettrico!
Wow! that is funny. Loosen up On every 488 or F8 thread the 458 people usually chime in to remind everybody why their slower cars are better because they are noisier But - do not step on the hallowed ground here. Back to your corner!
