if by over-rated, you mean there are only 6 official Ferrari dealers, and many in the US could live thier lives w/out ever seeing one, or what its capable of... then yes, definately over rated

are there seriously only 6 official dealers in the US?
That's true many people will never see a Ferrari in person. My cousin from Missouri (fanciest car they have near him is a Lincoln Town Car or the occasional passing through on rt. 66 Mercedes) he was ammazed when I took him to our Ferrari Dealer he was soo amazed to see one on the road then me taking him to the dealer without warning he was in shock to see soo many in one place. And then to take him to a Porsche dealer aswell. He was in shock just going to Chicago alone and then to see everything in person. It seriously suprised the hell out of me, I mean I've been seeing nice cars and other stuff since I could remember.

full size official dealers?? hmm... you mean 31 in the US...

im quite mistaken... it seems that perhaps Ferrari of America has grown by leaps and bounds if i were right about 4 years ago...

Its not the amount of ferraris they have. Its the type, all the ferraris have 360s, and what not, but how many have F50s, F40s the more rarer ferraris.

OK Our Ferrari Dealer has 2 F40's and a Dino racer 355 Challenge, 550 Barchetta 2 F1 cars, one 512 GT car, a few BB512's, Daytona, etc... they always have something special along with a large amount of Maseratti's and A nice selection of Aston's including the only Black Zagato roadster in North America. Also they sold 3 Enzo's through them.
