How did Ferrari go from a sexy piece of machinery like the 599xx to that... Although i was never a big fan of the Scaglietti that it is replacing either.

If that was the case then there would be a possibility for it to be good.

i would disagree. Ferrari's are supposed to have soul and passion. everyone knows that gingers don't have souls.

I liked it with a roundel...not with a prancing horse.


By the way, anyone in here with any experience running any type of drag slick? Looking for the most cost effective way to get 1.5 60fts...

not a full slick tire, but many times after the road race events at beaver run guys will sell used sets of hoosiers and the like for quite a nice deal.

most of the used tires i've seen up there have plenty of life left in them for a decent number of autocross/time trial events, let alone drag racing.

you may want something sticker, but for the prices i've seen them go for they might not be a bad idea to try.

I know the smaller wheels seen on drag cars requires smaller brakes. http://www.blu808.com/AMS-WILLWOOD-E...ONT_p_535.html

Im assuming you're going E85, T-bolt clamps are a must.
