Ferrari Mailing List: Fwd: FXX Evoluzione

[Red5hilser (Red5hilser]

It's like a Freedom Ride in reverse. As if that Guinea, Columbus had left  
America and landed in Maranello instead!
 
But not to worry, with the coming FedGovCo mandated GPS units in every  
American car, Big Brother is on his way to every American driver too. How does 
a  
new half a cent per mile 'Carbon Footprint' tax sound to  you?

Subj: Re: [Ferrari]  FXX Evoluzione


I don't believe the FXX is US street-legal.  It is a  100% pure Track Car.  
Furthermore, the car is heavily wired so that  Ferrari Spa. can retrieve 
telemetry data from the car.  I suppose such  information is useful to the 
factory 
to help understand the skill level and  driving habits of their 
most-well-heeled customers, so they can best  understand how to build the 'next 
Generation' 
supercar that will compel such  customers to part with $1Mil or more....

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.  :)
