There are a group of guys with Ferrari's of all kinds that meet at a local dinner called Sofia's on Market in Mechanicsburg PA. They meet up 2x a month and I like to stop up and drool over there cars. Well one of them let me get in his car today. What a beautiful piece of machinery. The leather was amazing. I had to fold myself in half to get in, but once in it was very comfy. Not sure I would want to travel across the country in it, but would be a great run at a track!!
CARBON FIBER BRAKE ROTORS!!! Amazing technology. Not sure I would want to cough up the money to replace them though.
Photo from the web.
The rotors and calipers are HUGE. paddle shifters. Had an automatic mode, but he said it was set up for mileage and shifted up to quick in that mode. Just an amazing car. They either put up with or get a kick out of the old wagon. They were amazed at the 6 speed.
Sorry no pictures, did not have a camera with me.

Very cool! I love to drool on the exotics at Cars and Coffee here....and even think I'd want one until I remember I could have 5-10 cool older cars for the same price...

I would take a nice Cobra Kit car over most Ferrari's. Cannot afford to maintain them!!
