Nah, it's just Ferarri's in particular really, especially those like the Enzo and the FXX which are closer to an F1 car than anything street legal. I'm not interested in it if it can't be driven on a public road in some form. The engine note of that thing is like a buzzing insect close to the ear!

You can buy them, but they aren't road legal - anywhere. And they stay under lock and key at Fiorano, and you only get to drive your car at Ferrari organised/endorsed track days.

But apparently they do use them for product development, so for the $squillion dollar cost, you get to be a Ferrari test driver.

EDIT: You can't actually buy one, like most of the hyperspecial ferraris now, you need to be one of Ferrari's 'preferred customers' (ie, absurdly rich and already own several Ferraris) to be invited to buy one.

oh.... so they get joe public to fund the car and the R+D, but they get to keep it? bit of a rip..

ohhhhh... now i know where the FXX is familiar.... it's mentioned when people talk about the SpecV brakes! apparently the CC brakes on the SpecV are the same as the FXX

I don't care much for Fezzas but check these videos out:

Was built for a customer off the Enzo platform, he had that much money that he went back and asked Ferrari for permission to restyle it for him with some other makers to resemble the older Ferrari's that he loved.

Personally think it looks shit, but respect for how much work would have to go into that to transform it into what it is.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
