I Just dropped the hammer on a New Ferrari

Roll bar and slicks. Nice.

 

How often does this model need a belt service? Any issues with valve guides?

Are those Euro Bumpers?

 

Looks like a Lambo to me.

 

I hate to break it to you, but someone sold you a Ford and told you it was a Ferrari.

 

Definately a Euro Version, notice the side markers....

Why didn't you buy a CASE ? They are the newest Ferrari siblings of NewH.

 

Are those the hard or soft compounds treads?

 

Doesn't matter. Look at the contact patch!

 

What are you going to do with it?

 

Dude, how much were the shields? And is that a custom color? And oh yea, I bet that hand-stitched interior is what caused the delay in delivery.

 

That roll bar...it's sooo 333SP.

Sweeet!

 

I would have gotten the red/tan. How fast does it go?

 

The tracks are not correct and that abomonation of a front bumper, or what ever in the hell it is ( maybe a log chipper) way too big, the overall length is questionable. I think it might be just a really good replica. But, I'm no expert.

 

I bet it corners like nothing else. Almost no body roll or flex either. I'd like to hear what it sounds like with a Tubi. Is this a 6 speed or an F1 box? Obviously, they made it as a spider for the US market. I'm sure in Europe more of them are coupes. I'm sure it's powerful but it looks like it gets pretty poor mileage. Not very "politically correct" in today's world. They need to switch to bio - fuel.

I found an article from Consumer reports on it. Here is what it said;

Too noisy
Polutes too much
Too expensive
Eats up too much fuel
Difficult and expensive to maintain
Dealer service difficult to find
Too low
Seats too uncomfortable for long rides
No room for children
No luggage space
Overpriced radio
Nav system inadequate for the money
Too flashy for everyday use
Top too slow to put up
Insurance too high
Headlights inadequate
Difficult to drive in the rain, snow, or mud
No 4 wheel drive option
Automatic gearbox "clunky"
Difficult to parrallel park

But what Consumer reports said was worst of all with this Ferrari test .... IT'S TOO FAST.

 

I want one of those

 

With all that counterweight in the front, it MUST pull wheelies off the line, right? How cool is that!

I clicked on the link to this topic thinking you literally dropped a hammer on a new Ferrari

 

That'll buff out.

 

I always heard that torque wins races and not horsepower so this thing must be great on a race track. I do not think it is street legal anyway, I do not see airbags or seat belts. I also do not think it will be a quick seller because of the off color. I wonder if the alarm siren needs to be replaced every few years?
