Default Ferrari FX

Have you guys seen the stats on this thing?!?!?! Holy Sh!t !!!!
normally aspirated 6.0 liter V-12
650hp !!!!!
seven speed gear box
active suspension damping (read, zero body roll)
carbon-fiber brembo brakes
2650 lbs !!!!! that's less than us fellas
0-60 in 3 seconds flat. (test mule already hit 3.2 with old style F-50 tranny)
0-100 in 6 seconds flat
variable depth underbody venturis
at least 205 mph top speed. and they said that is because they don't want to start a top speed war.
DAMN. hey....a.....turbo S2000s may just have a little comp huh? I think this is the baddest car of all time. remember that the McLaren F1 ran 0-60 in 3.3 and 0-100 in 6.3. yeah I know it went like 240mph but ferrari says at least 205 and they don't want the fastest top end. Damn you Ferrari!!!! I want one

Don't forget about the "prerequisite" 2 or 3 other Ferarri's you have to own to get on the list.
