    Cool! What options???

    Any shots of the interior?

    What's it like to drive in India with a beast like this?

    How do you say it... "Mubarak ho!"? :)

    Very, very cool. Do you have any roads you can have a spirited drive on? Maybe some pictures on Indian roads from when you had your F430? :)

    You got the standard seats and I've been telling everyone just how good looking they are. I really like the standard seats.

    That looks fantastic with the red thread trim.

    Nice two tone BTW!

    I'll be in Chennai on business for the month of July and have read online about the Irungattukottai Race Track. Looks like a fun layout and I'm sure I'll check it out! Hopefully catch you there!

    Great looking car there ! Can't wait for mine. I nearly pulled the trigger on the same dual tone exterior, but opted out eventually. Your car looks great!

    Fantastic combo, RSM!

    Do you have many opportunities around Bangalore to open her up?

    106% duty's actually, but its equally painful. The Indian Govt isn't even considering a steady reduction of these duties. Guess we are still the Socialist India of old.

    cheers guys... The roads around town are pathetic. Fortunately out of town they are better and we can open them up. As ecks mentioned the taxes are 60% customs duty along with CVD, VAT and other taxes adds up to 110%. As if that were'nt enough we have ridiculously high registration tax at 20% in our state.

    I have been to Bangalore many times over the last 20 years and boy you're brave. Terrible roads and unbelievable traffic congestion in the city. I wouldn't be game to drive a Ferrari in that traffic :)

    The roads are a little better each time I visit; but it is also noticeably more congested and polluted every visit.
