I think it looks way to much like a corvette from the side. I would get a superamerica or a 612 before it any day.

Most likely the red metallic like the original pictures, or Rosso Corsa with one of the lighter beige leathers, red stitching, leather options versus CF, sport seats, CS wheels, Carbon Ceramic Brakes...

Haha thanks man, I am pretty excited since my Dad is extremely cool about letting me drive his cars or anything of his. For some reason he would rather look at his cars and let me drive them, probably because he knows how hard it is to pay for them while I just enjoy them for him, my mom says it's because he lives through me lol. The real reason we are getting one is because we have a really good relationship with the owner of the F-car dealer and we have a good spot. Hopefully we can drive the car for a year put a couple thousand miles on it and flip it back to the dealer for free. We are not really Ferrari people and I don't feel comfortable driving something that expensive.

This will be our first ferrari!!!!

That's a beauty...standard wheels are 19' front and 20' back...Challenge ones 20' both front and rear...I think if the first or second choice will compromise the handling in some way...maybe 20' in both sides would be too much...what do you guys think??

I'm seriously conflicted over this and the 430 spider. It's well and truly beautiful. Black, white, grigio all look spectacular.

He is Gordon Murray the designer of the Mclaren F1. I really like his design criticisms.

hehehe!

DiMisa, with all due respect... and as already pointed out above, that "dude" is Gordon Murray!

probably best known for designing the McLaren F1, still in many ways the best supercar ever built, but also an incredibly successful designer of Formula 1 cars.

His (in)famous Brabham F1 "fan" car was so innovative that it won the first ever race it ran in. When was the last time a brand new Formula One design won the first time out? Unfortunately, it was banned immediately thereafter!

Murray is a legend in the annals of automotive design! Any car magazine (he writes for several) should count itself lucky to have him as a contributor.

cheers!
