This is very interesting. From whom did you get this info?

Any info on wheels and tires?

The car really needs the power boost IMO. I test drove the Sport and Executive when I was thinking about one, but decided against it. Too underpowered and heard that electronics are terrible. Any truth to this Kid?

This is very good info. Many thanks. The initials of your source are maybe A. R.?

Any idea when these may be available for ordering?

Do you know anything about wheel and tires combos? I think one deficiency of the QP is tires too narrow!

Good sizes. Are you getting decent tire mileage?

What size tires? What brand are your wheels?

Understand about your QP info.

I spoke with ferrari of SF today about the new 08 QP GTS. They confirmed that it will have stiffer suspension , and some exterior mods.(grill, door handles). But that it will have the same 400hp engine.

It's possible they are keeping the actuals close to the vest so as not to dilute sales of on-hand inventory.

I spoke with a guy by the name of Mark, whom seemed quiet knowlegable. He assured me that for 08 no engine change!!
