Congratulations!

I like this car a lot, it brings the lunacy that was missing from the last few models back. Looks much better than that milquetoast Gallardo.

hmmm did it mention when would these be released to the market?

gonzo · 07-29-2009, 12:46 PM

The market for new release Ferraris has been established for many years.

I would guesstimate it would take 3 years to get one, if then, if you have not established yourself with a dealer.

Year's_End · 07-29-2009, 12:57 PM

nice.^

doug i can see why you don't like it so much. i still think the f430 is better looking, but i'll give this one a chance.

Los Angeles · 07-29-2009, 01:34 PM

Why does the interior look good in some parts and terrible in others???

Since you don't even know that there is no such thing as a 355 Maranello you opinion is null and void.

lol

I'm pretty sure that the first cars will begin delivery 4th quarter of 2010.

Thank God, they did away with the nostrils in the front. I'm so tired of those damn things. The open facia is far better.

Glad you didn't take that seriously. just giving you a hard time.

gonzo · 07-29-2009, 02:14 PM

IMO there is no ugly Ferrari. None.

Not for everyone but I love the simplicity of the 612 Scags lines.

I disliked the 612 when it was first released. Then I saw it in person and thought if I needed a grocery getter it would be in my stable. It's far better looking in person.

the 456 and this are beautiful... I was looking into a used 456 a few months ago, but was thrown off because of issues and mantainence costs (these older cars were more show and less go... as in always had some mechanical trouble)

It will officially be launched at the Frankfurt auto show, official orders will start in about 6 months and weight list is 18 months after that. I presume it will be a much longer waiting list in the USA as it always is.

gonzo · 07-29-2009, 02:32 PM

The Scag is a classy GT for the well heeled doctor type to me. Put your buddy in front with you and the wifeys, comfortably, in back for a night out.

09 Scags numbers. For 4056lbs, it is a fast mutha...as it should be for 300K.

Performance
0-60 mph: 4.2 sec
0-100 mph: 10.2 sec
Quarter Mile: 12.8 sec @ 112 mph
Skidpad: ---
Top Speed: 195 mph
Braking, 60-0 mph: 105 ft

The 458 is going to be awesome. Can't wait to see the spider.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari's top customers already have their orders in.

I know this is correct!! But these things supposedly cannot be disclosed. They also make you sign an agreement that says you won´t sell the car within a year or sell your deposit etc... Although we all know these things happen all the time.
