It must be amazing the stuff you miss out on in the world around you.


B/c I did not want to read a wall of text from a dealers email on an internet car forum lmao? Your world must be made of code. Is this you bruh?

You dodging bullets and warping time? If so then yes I'm missing out on a whole lot.

As awesome as this car is, I think I'd still have to go with a Zonda - I just have come to love those cars' styling and performance.

The part that boggles me is that trick rear end that has an open differential and brakes the inner wheel while coming out of turns. Usually in a limited slip, you'd only see the outside wheel speed up a bit and that can cause a drift while leaving turns. I would really love to hear more about this technology. Supposedly they speak a little about it in Insideline .
I believe that's the "fiddle brake" which goes all the way back to McLaren's 1998 F1 car. The FIA banned it almost immediately, I always suspected because they knew it would have completely blown out the rest of the grid.

Just got off the phone with the salesman in Dallas. He got to drive one in UK and says they are awesome. He also said - if you are serious go do a factory tour starting in Apr/May. It will blow your mind. Deliveries start in August. 350 cars in USA for 2011. 1000 for 2012. The Bad news: There are 85 people who are serious about the car and in front of me. They started taking deposits last week. So If I make a $25K depo then I can possibly move up on the list!

The nice thing is: No stupid Ferrari games. You want one - get in line. No buy a used one, trade it in etc etc B.S.

still debating.
