Thanks for all the kind words. I have been carefully trying to break the car in, 400miles and counting.

Awsome. Congrats!
Question: I read that with the racing clutch you don't give it gas on the start, you just let off the clutch and that gets it rolling before you gas it. Is that how it works?
Question 2: What is the pronunciation for Stradale? Love that car.

Picked up my car today. Incredible! The clutch definitely takes some getting used to, but this is by far the best car experience I have ever had. It feels like the car version of my MV F41000. Spine tingling.

Beautiful and fabulous cars, man.
But, I have a question. Why do you have two cars that are, arguably, quite similar? Both are very focused, street legal race cars. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a car for those 'glass of Chardonay, plate full of mussels lunch days' with the wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc.?
You have quite a selection of rides for those days you get out of bed feeling like Schumi (how would you choose between the F and P?). I'd give my left and right nut for either of them red babies, but what do you drive when you're feeling 6 or 7 tenths mellow?

Thanks for all the great comments. My daily driver is a cayenne turbo. My wife hase the luxocruiser A8L. Those take car of the relaxed rides. I am planning on selling the stradale because there really is no reason to have both. I drove the CGT and stradale back to back a few times and the only thing the ferrari has in the same league with the CGT is the brakes. I like cars with a purpose, since I am fortunate enough to own more than one I like uncompromised designs. As far as garage HP, I also have superformance Cobra with over 550HP. The bikes are fun, my MV has been dynoed at 165 rwHP and Ducati 999R also over 155 rwHP. I keep both now because they are so different in character, but next spring both are going for the Ducati Desmosedici RR
