The price being asked does not seem to be too much. There were an additional 20 slots made available in the US, as it seems the initial 150 was...
Never said they weren't fast. Nor did I ever say they're far cheaper than a Ferrari; go to my earlier post and you'll see you are just repeating...
Pretty simply, it's exclusivity: 500 produced vs how many thousands of 599s upon which the GTO is based? Ferrari can spread out the development...
^Good to know, thanks. Wondering how others in the US/UK/Euro market can command such a mark-up on already titled cars when people such as...
And seriously, what's all this emphasis on 'Ring lap times anyway? Have you guys taken any bone stock car around that track to its claimed time?...
Factory GM test engineer who does dozens of laps to get a feel of the car vs mag journalist who does only 3 laps (warmup, timed flyer, and...
Yes, it costs more. But for a reason (not to do with performance). ;) The 599s are also some 600 lbs heavier...
Not bad, but perhaps not quite? The 599 wasn't 6 years old when it was lapping about as fast as the Z06. The GTO is likely quite a bit faster,...
Are you a prior Ferrari owner, and is your car coming in at no more than list? My comment of "probably" was geared primarily toward the UK market...
I think with used GTOs in the US selling at $500k+ and " 150k over list" mentioned in other threads here, the price between the two cars is not...
Sure, I can dispute it. :) The Z06 may only be about as fast as the 458 around a track; in a straight line, the mag results indicate the 458 is...
The Z06 with that package also includes magnetic shocks, which on other Corvettes would be a $1995 option. Surely there must be a sizeable profit...
"Pagani says it made the request for an exemption three years ago but the decision from NHTSA came just as Pagani was preparing official unveiling...
Must be part of Pagani's fleet. They just had the US presentation the other day in Pasadena. Check the coverage and pictures (insane!) here:...
I agree about the relatively meaningless differences in 'Ring times, but I don't think it necessarily points to special tires in terms of...
And I think Harris's answer to that 2nd question does greatly impact his overall assessment of the McLaren in relation to the 458. In his video...
What kind of evidence are you looking for?
This was precisely Harris's point: if Ferrari customers don't care so much about performance figures (and they don't), then why does Ferrari go to...
They didn't lie about it. They recorded the numbers but also published photos of the crews in attendance. That was left for the reader to draw...
As Porsche and Lambo don't make a regular habit of sending a support crew and sometimes a car's development driver along (or 2 cars, one for...
