    Ok, I went to Ferrari of New England this weekend (again, as the GF was gone for a bacholorette party) to see if they had anything new in stock or in trade. I just happenend to be there as they were doing a sales floor re-set.

    Mark Mina the service manager was charged with moving a 612 Scaglietti around. This particular car has the GTC package which includes a tuned exhaust. All I can say is F-ME! I never pictured the 612 to make such an evil sounding noise! He revved the engine a bit on the sales floor and my jaw dropped. The exhaust note on this car embodies why I love ferrari so much.

    At idle it is a deep growl but once revved a bit, it snaps, snarls and rips out of the back end of the car.

    Now, because I have no life and am friends with the folks at the dealership. I head down there every coupla weekends. So for those of you who have not seen the new dealership or just want to tour the facilities you should do it. The staff is very friendly and they will be happy to show you around.

    Mark did a great job with a guy who brought in his young son, letting him sit in the 575M on the show room floor. Plus if you're lucky the 599 may still be in for its service.

    Yes the 612 with the GTC package sounds almost as good as a Stradale !

    Having an Ftatoo is not too different from having tracks you Fcar junkie :D . Would really like to see them stay in Foxboro and not go to the Automile. Ground is still not broken.

    Yes Ive had some bad days lately, and been a bit grouchy as a result,
    but working with Ferraris, I can endure any tumult,
    Now the GTC is noisy, the 430 is quick, but the F-40-now that thing is sick.
    So violets are blue-and roses are red,
    If you drive an F-40, your foot should be of lead.
    For as I leave the dealer lot, climb out onto Washington street,
    The State police await in hiding, for its me-they wish to meet.
    Now an F-40 is fast, an F-40 makes you cheer,
    But for goodness sake officer-It wont do one-twenty..
    in second gear!

    Ok- now i really have to get back to work,

    They have a nice F430 spider (red/tan) traded in in the showroom with only 400 miles. Asking 280K - seems like a good deal.
