    I finally have recieved my car! All I can muster up is WOW! I can't wait till it's past the 620mile mark! This is truly a master piece! well enough I have some Questions????
    1) how do you switch the clock to 12hr time from 24hr time? ( I looked in the owner book and could not find it)
    2) Has anyone else noticed that their cars "baby book" actually called the V I P Book Vehicle identification Passport has pictures of the various stages of build of their car is not actually their car? I was looking at it and I guessed that the "frame" "body" and "engine" pictures were mostlikely the same pic's they send to everyone but the last picture of the finished car would have to be the real finished product of our said car right? Well I was looking at mine and noticed that even the last "finished" picture was not my car! The car in the picture had different color brake calipers! I was kind of bummed! do you think I should say something? I know it's not that big of a deal but why do they give you this stupid thing and say this is your car being built in our factory when it's not anything more than a picture book! Thanks and hope you guys don't think I'm being stupid I really love the car!!!
    3) Does anyone notice a harmonic resonance when going through the gears at around 3200rpm to 3400rpm? above that it goes away! I rode in a friends F430 both of our cars have had the exhaust cut outs diabled! and his also does it but it's very faint! Mine is much more noticable. Does it have something to do with the cut outs? Please respond this last item is bugging me it's like having a scratch on your favorite record and oh what a song it makes!!!!

    On my vip booklet the pictures of the car in different stages looked like mine. I ordered red roof lining and
    rear parcel shelf and it was all in the photos.
    As for the rasping resonance sound at about 3500rpm, I also noticed it and asked the ferrari engineer
    that was present during a visit. He seem to know exactly what I was talking about. Said that it is by
    intention and built into the car by Ferrari. The rasping sound the exhaust makes is reminiscent of the
    older generation cars. But like u said, it goes away after 4000rpm. I would prefer not to have it at all.
    It does sound like a leaking exhaust manifold...
