Ok I guess one mod doesn't hurt. It wouldn't fit in the garage so I had to shorten it up a bit



Much better gas mileage as well.

Why should we mod a car that the engineers nailed the first time?
Sexy right out of the box not to mention pretty good at high speeds

H20 skier,

Im not implying the you NEED to mod to "improve" the car - i am just a big fan of personalization on cars....all cars...no matter the make or model.

What can i say, i am a MODDER at heart

Jon

PS: Your car is a beaut! And your right, it doesnt NEED anything, but man i wouldnt be mad at you for calling Novitec or Fabulous

Novitec does some fantastic stuff. I had a White Novitec F430 as my desktop until that micro version of my F430 shown earlier. I'm just all modded out. I had an 05' Turbo S Cab 600hp with new shocks. Very fast and handled well at speed but beat the crap out of me otherwise. I blame no one for modding but right now I am great with stock. Some of the Techart Porches and Gemballa Porches are over the top

well I can't say the same for your F40. It needs something real bad. Ropes around it to keep the hundreds of spectators off of the paint.

btw Don't Lower that damn Barchetta. Too much class to change.

I won't, I won't. Something interesting in that regard is that the Fiorano package......which it has, is 10mm/15mm front and back respectively lower then the "regular" Barchetta.

It doesn't need ropes........those hundreds of spectators can't do what my 3 yr old does to it everytime she goes through the garage.........and thats run her hand from front to back and vice versa!

Those who mod their Ferrari's tend to see what others have done and who made the products. There is skepticism because most Ferrari owners tend to keep their cars somwhat original and want to learn from the experience of others.

The resistance here I believe comes from your possible (?) inexperience with Ferrari's. If that's not the case, then pursue the products carefully and on an individual basis.

Have a few owners test each item out.
