I hope someone from Ferrari just gives him one for his effort.A nice Modena should say "Thanks for showing interest in our company'!

Holy sh.it!!! If he added a few servos and some other radio gear he could have one BAD *** r/c car. I bet that thing could run 80-90mph.

20,000 hrs working on that thing???!!!! Imagine if he made good money? Say 50 dollars an hr....that would be exactly 1 million dollars that he could've made instead of that car!!! He could have 3 or 4 Ferrari's for that much money!!!! What a nut...at least he went all out for it, not half-assing it.

Get RealPlayer, then you'll see something. Man, that's sweet, I'm obsessive compulsive enough to do something like that, but I couldn't dedicate myself to it, that's just nuts

Very, very amazing, but Stoneage is on to something here. They keep implying it's an EXACT scale model, but come on now, that would be impossible. It takes far more than 20,000 man-hours to design a car, let alone tool it. There are material limitations. And I noticed they used an external starter to start the engine. Still, I love the sound of the engine...exactly how a mini-Ferrari should sound. Hand-building an engine like that is enough to wow me. I don't know that Ferrari should give him a car, but definitely an invitation to the factory and maybe a couple test drives are in order!
