Be happy to host you guys in Chicago next week but the family and I
will be out of town all week.... Have a safe drive home, and let us know how you appease the wife :) This tends to be more valuable information than how fast the car is...

Definitely a toy car of the 1st order... I was kinda hoping it was an Ascari or Pagani to be honest. Some of us will be lucky to get a nice tie for Father's day :) Honestly I am hoping for an iPad :) You need to make the cross country video (helmets not allowed)...

And, all other things being equal, less is more as far as traction control, etc. (but ABS would be fine, thank you), so that, in p-car land, there's more appeal to a GT3 than a turbo, for example. _____ Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 13:42:46 -0700 From: cavallino_rapante [at] yahoo.com Subject: Re: [Ferrari] 599 CC: ferrari [at] ferrarilist.com To: larrybard [at] hotmail.com Considering the GTO project AND the 599 XX programs, I'd say we're all grossly underestimating the handling characteristics of this car:http://www.ferrari.com/English/News/GT/Pages/100423_CAR_ferrari_599XX_record_nurburgring.aspx I'm of the opinion that Ferrari actually made some 'adjustments' after they concluded the 550/575 production - those cars sucked on the track, and owners weren't shy about saying so at the time. I agree that the HorsePower war is still going strong, and machines are being designed/built/ sold to the general public that most of their owners cannot possibly utilize to anywhere near their full potential, safely, on our streets or on most race- tracks. So what? I would love to track a 599 - the car's capabilities far- exceeds my driving ability to find, let alone explore, the car's traction or cornering limits, so I would expect that it would be extremely difficult for a driver like me to 'get into trouble' and bend something expensive. But that's just how my mind works.

I know that there are several listers, and of course other owners, who have tracked their 512TRs, but that has little or no appeal for me (except insofar as I could hear the engine wail at some place like the Glen.) My track car (and daily driver) is a 993, which I think is just right for me, but I've been curious about red alternatives. My guess is 3 series all the way.... And even if most can swing a 360 or 430 , they might be hesitant to track it I think. A shame, but totally understandable. 308 gt/4 would be cheap and fun....my pick. IMy next step up would be 348.
