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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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?
