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.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
