The FXX is a wonderful machine....only problem I have with it is that the
owners can't have total freedom with this car. Aren't they allowed to take
them to certain Ferrari sanctioned track days?

As far as cars weighing more, the growing dimensions is one culprit but the
safety regs require more structural reinforcement now than they did 10 years
ago; the McLaren F1 can never be rebuilt because of this.

However, all the other stuff can be dealt with....but not so sure that
eliminating ABS is that vital to purist happiness. :)
