Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Car and driver Jan 2022 issue

It is speed limited by the software.  But you probably knew that, right?  

It has a 0-60 of 2.1s and does the quarter mile in 9.4s.  The 575 does 0-60 in 4.2s and the quarter mile in 12.3s.  So, while you are running away from the inevitable while racing a Tesla, you will spend a lot of time seeing its rear end.  When it hits its governor, then you will pass it.  But it will already be going 151MPH at the 1/4 mile mark and the 575 takes 1/2 mile and 20.1s to get to 150MPH.  It takes 1 mile and 31.4s to get to 166MPH.  It will take a quite a while before you catch it.  Hopefully you don't encounter corners before then because the Tesla pulls 1.02g while the 575 pulls 0.92g.  But, hey, when you need to brake before he does, at least you will have the better brakes.

Make no mistake, it can do 200 or damn close.  They are probably governing it due to the brake and/or high speed stability issues.  When they are comfortable with the solutions, they will probably offer an upgrade package including a software update.  So, yeah, it has issues.  But it also cost half what the 575 did new and 3X less than the 575's price in 2022 money.   To some people, a Ferrari isn't worth 3X more.  To some it is.  I only care about what I think.

Always trying to crap on other people's choices or preferences or achievements is not a good look.   Enjoy your nice leather seats and superior paint job and stop worrying about who or what is chasing you.  It rarely seems to work out.
