They might be ON something and I want some...

But please, just please can I see Ferrari with some deeper dished wheels? They have a low offset but dont take advantage.

I'm not a fan of spyders, but it's a red Ferrari so exceptions shall be made.

I had a chance to drive one of these about a month ago at a BMWCCA event. Someone brought theirs out and was about 7 seconds off the pace and I offered to sit shotgun and coach a bit, it was then that he told me to take the wheel. Honestly, I'm not sure I got much out of it (we were into "fun-run's" by then and timing was already taken down) because I drive far lower horsepower cars (like ones with about 1/4th to 1/5th of it) but it was a blast.

i drove down a canyon with one of those and a really nice s4, along with a supercharged lotus, and a porsche. i was heading home from my folks house a few months ago and they came up behind me in some twisties, the s4 blasted passed me in a passing lane, then the f430 followed me for a turn or two then passed me around a right corner in a double yellow. was pretty crazy. i saw the lotus behind me and said flock it, pushed the high boost button and stayed between them for 20 or 30 miles doing high enough speeds not to mention. on to some pics....

Really, the only thing about that car that appeals is the side profile. The front looks like a retarded smiley face and the rear doesn't match, not to mention those taillights, ugh.

No sarcasm made. But like it was said, it's a red Ferrari.

Nice pictures, though. You can tell by the Ferrari's exhaust tips that it's been driven hard quite a bit (or the owner doesn't clean his car). :yesnod
why, that S4 was a very fun car.

sure, it's no the exotic hardware that the Ferrari is, but I'd rather have one than a G.
