I am a HUGE fan of classic Ferrari styling, which this is not...but very cool looking nontheless.

I read how the tub of the car itself only weighs 90 lbs!

I was going to buy one, but I didn't think it would make it up my driveway.

Is it only available with the F1 Paddle shifters or can you get a good ole' 6-speed?

On another note, Ferrari really does know how to make rear bumpers...seriously. It is a happy medium between like a rear SVT bumper and Nascar, looks good on the side 'cause the corners are low, but it is high up where the air comes out for when you're trying to stay glued to the road at 921309819042mph.

But the nose on her is a little too messed up.

Hate it.....looks ugly.

It seems to be function over form which I usually like (GTR, Evo's etc) but this is a Ferrari, it's supposed to look good too. Not that I'll be in a position to buy one anytime soon.

I think the front end looks like an F1 car. They are only making 349 and all of them have been spoken for. You can get them in any color you want, as long as its red or yellow.

$1000 for every hp = $650,000....to me if your looking for performance a ferrari isnt the way to go about it. ferrari's look great and sure they are fast, handle nice, stop nice, but for that kinda money why not buy a Z06 and mod it to a ferrari's stats. i just think a majority of that $650,000 is for the name "FERRARI"
