This is one of the only cars in my opinion that look AMAZING from every single angle.
This Ferrari should be a killer. Totally destroys that Lamborghini concept car that was shown a couple months ago.

$185K I can't get excited about it

What do you mean by lost it's design direction?? What direction do you think they shold go in????

Is Ferrari about the exterior design or how it drives? I would care less what others thought of my car, what matters is what I think if it.
Awesome car and I am sure it drives even better.

I know someone who drives these cars regularly. His personal contrasting opinion on both Porsche and Ferrari in terms of handling, is that they're pretty much on par with each other.

I asked him which one he prefers driving and he mentioned that in general (in his opinion), Ferraris have slightly better roadfeel in comparison to the Porsche.

Okay, well the reviews are tickling in my monthly mags and this car seems to be not of this world.

Scuderia means "Team" in Italian. Seems a certain F-1 driver named Mike helped out.

Basically, similar to how you can get the EDFC for Tein coils, you can adjust damping. THey say its incredible, how it can go do full sport (and Ferrari claims 40% faster in corners) to a non punishing ride.

I can't seem to find anyone saying anything negative about it.
