Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / November 2007Milli chili vanilli, et cetera...
Hey all! Sorry I've been away so long. I keep seeing teasers about the new uber- Ferrari and I'm thinking that, aside from the usual it's-not-a-Lusso looks problems they are getting it right by going for similar power to the Enzo with much lighter weight. I was worried we'd see the usual "make it fatter and add power" escalation, but apparently somebody there still has some sense after seeing how over the top and tacky the Bugatti turned out. Your thoughts...? -Matt- > Sorry I've been away so long.

What's that make, 4 now? ;-) Yeah-yeah. If you send me some damn pics there might be more. It's not like I can go on my grand tours every five minutes you know! Ackshully, My Mrs has some much better pics of the tour than I took (as usual) so one of these days I'll get her to sort them out (she only took about 2,000) and then there'll be another update.

Send me your pics! Huh? forgiven? forgotten? I didn't think i ever posted enough to piss anyone off....unless posting a pic of my Subaru rubbed you the wrong way. Its faster than a porch boxster (not saying much) but it is a station wagon. Ive been "around in the ether" since i started lookin at this ng. Saw a 599 on the road the other day, they are growing on me, i didn't like the roundedness of the newer ferraris, 355 is still my favorite, looks wise. Also saw an FXX through a window at the Wynn in vegas. 10 bucks just to go in the dealership, bastards. Still want to drive one, anyone want to go skiing in mammoth? Now that i live in california, i wish i wouldnt have used the name RicDeez, oh well, whats done is done RicD > Huh? forgiven? forgotten?

Probably not very well, but i would love to find out, man would that be fun. > could be worse, you could be named after his KISS-FM replacement.... we don't get KISS here, fortunately > you in norcal or socal?? midcal? I live in mammoth. If you ever plan on coming out here, hit me up. 395 is a great road for cruising. RicD >Hey all! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Your thoughts...? I agree wholeheartedly. Less 599, more reduced size, add lightness. -- Embedded spy, stolen 780page technical and operational manual, 323 helpdesk queries. That's what's different. > >Hey all! > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > That's what's different. What was the old saying? "Simplicate and add lightness?" I cannot believe how fat most cars are nowadays. I understand that having twelve airbags, meeting modern crash tests, making cars bank- vault quiet, and fitting ever-larger backsides into the seats requires more heft, but a new Jetta weighs as much as my old Z28 did, and they offered the VW with a 100hp diesel! Apparently you spell pig "VW" now... Yeesh! My old '84 Jetta was about 2100lbs, with 90hp. Half the fun of small cars is their tossability, and when a compact weighs 3000+ pounds there goes the plot. Adding more power to an overweight car is a bandaid measure at best. I like the 599 fine for what it is, but it is refreshing to see the start of a movement toward lightness again. -Matt-
