Is Ferrari trying to make their cars more street friendly like 911?

If that is the case, they will need to improve reliability 1000000%, drop the price 500% and make 300% more cars per year

This would drive the Caffe Latte Starbucks Tifosi to mass suicide..

why do they still have it taped up? isn't the 599 ready to go?

and even in the higher res pic, it's hard to tell who's driving thanks to the glare off the windshield

He needs to help test with the F1 team first - they seem to be going to pot!

From what I'm told, and from what I've experienced... Ferraris are very street friendly already not to say they aren't without thier "issues"

hmm... its been a while since I drove a Ferrari... hmm... whats the weather like Wednesday

Oh - some newer cars are street friendly, its the lack of reliability to cope with 20,000 mile a year commutes that is the problem - and then turn-around time and cost to get em fixed when they break

I know of at least 2 people in Houston with older 911's as an only car......

I spoke nothing of reliability just of street friendly LOL

anyway... all the cars I know are usually driven about 10-12k miles a year... and nnone have had major issues... just the normal ferrari services LOL

Are Ferraris less reliable than Lambo's ? or Ford GT ?? Ferrari's are a lot different than Porsches, I don't think they're made to be driven everyday :roll:

Ford GT? Why would that be unreliable?

Oooohhhhhhhh -- I get it... the rolling eyes is because youforgive Ferrari's terrible track record as part of the "mystique" of F-car ownership... youknow the part that means a "normal" person woulod probably never get to enjoy the thrill of the -F-car ownership because people have resigned themselves to the fact that only the super-rich need apply - so they spend their lives looking in the window and never participating.

You don't think they are made to be driven everyday? Man - that's a shame... no wonder Porshce makes moe money by Wednesday, than ferrari makes all month
