I have up for sale what has been my around town driver for the last year and a half or so. I have enjoyed this car thoroughly but it is time for a new Corvette!! I have put about 4,000 trouble free miles on this car and know it well. The Car went through an inspection at Ferrari of Orlando when the previous owner purchased it and had over $6,000 worth of maintenance done in 2012, including a new Ferrari Driver side Exhaust Manifold ($1,957.13), battery, oil pressure sending unit, and a new ignition switch. At the time of service Ferrari diagnosed a faulty CAT ECU. When I purchased the car, I had all three Cat ECU's replaced, two new green ECU's and a good working used Black ECU. I also had the Cats gutted to get that nice Ferrari note. (not too noisy but just perfect in my opinion). I had O2 sensor spacers installed to avoid check codes. Included with the sale are two used Cat's. not the best shape but will allow for the car to pass inspection in a state that requires it.

Now on to the car. This car gets constant attention, and is an absolute blast to drive. The engine fires up every time with no issues, the transmission shifts like butter, and the clutch was replaced at about 25K miles and grips very well. The timing belts were replaced at around 29K miles. This vehicle was issued a Salvage/rebuilt title early on in its life and has had lots of trouble free miles put on since. I have been all over this car and cannot find any signs of damage or repair, and it also drives perfectly, with no issues. The Orlando Ferrari dealer also could not find any signs of previous repair and was surprised to hear of the rebuilt title on this car. The Autocheck also shows no Accidents so I don't know???? I did a compression check and got the following results:

Bank 1: 1: 170 2:170 3:175 4:165 Bank 2: 5:175 6:175 7:175 8:175 This car does not smoke, make any strange noises, or use oil at all. I just replaced the oil with Mobil 1 Synthetic and a fresh Ferrari oil filter.


This car presents very nicely but with full disclosure in mind there are only minor signs of wear and tear, including a few rock chips, surface scratches, 2 minor dings. The interior is nice as well, with most sticky parts refinished including the A/C vents. No rips or tears in the leather, the driver seat is showing minor wear on the bolster.

This car is perfect for the buyer with intentions of driving and enjoying a Ferrari without the constant worry of devaluing the car either via mileage or wear and tear. This was my intention and I loved every second of it!!! There is nothing like getting behind the wheel of a red, 6 speed Ferrari coupe. I usually do not get attached to cars but there will be a tear in my eye when this one drives away. Tires are older, showing signs of age and wear and should be replaced soon. Wheels have some nicks and scratches but are in nice shape.

Race Recap: Belgian Grand Prix sings Waltzing Matilda

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Changeable. Each commentator will use that word at least 6,072 times over the Belgian Formula One
Grand Prix weekend. It is almost always applied to the weather, because the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit - perhaps all of Belgium - resides in some sort of climatological Narnia, its ADD skies totally unable to settle on a reliable behavior.
A dry Friday turned into a thoroughly wet qualifying on Saturday. When Q3 had done, Nico Rosberg would line up on pole position for the fourth race in a row for Mercedes AMG Petronas, after teammate Lewis Hamilton had another brake problem, this time glazing on one of the discs. Infiniti Red Bull Racing engineered a low-downforce setup and Sebastian Vettel took the best advantage, lining up third and making us wonder if the magic was back. Fernando Alonso drove the first Ferrari to fourth, the Spaniard saying he thought a podium was possible. Daniel Ricciardo put the second Infiniti Red Bull Racing in fifth, Valtteri Bottas behind him in the first Williams, then Kimi Räikkönen in the second Ferrari, Felipe Massa in the second Williams and Jenson Button in the sole McLaren in the top ten.

Ugar Sahin Design's F is a radical Ferrari 458 in disguise

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Look, Ferrari, your latest line of cars is arguably the best looking group of prancing stallions since the early 1970s. Even the rather dull California has gotten some attention, thanks to the new California T. But this, the Ferrari F from Ugur Sahin Design, is just better.
Believe it or not, that is based on a 458 Italia. It's like the designer has taken the very best aspects of the Pagani Huayra, Jim Glickenhaus' P4/5 and the Ferrari LaFerrari and combined them into one amazing package. We think it's positively stunning.
Now, obviously, there are some aspects that wouldn't work for a production car. For example, those rear blind spots are probably huge. But when a car looks this good, who really cares? In fact, we'd be willing to designate this Ferrari as the best looking car Ugur Sahin has penned, which is high praise indeed.

Ferrari delivers one-off F12 SP America in New York

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Ferrari's Special Projects division has apparently been keeping busy. We're sure that we don't even see half of the special one-offs Maranello's customer skunkworks unit produces, but we've been seeing quite a few lately.
The last one that popped up on our radar screens was the F12 TRS revealed at the recent Ferrari Cavalcade in Sicily, and now it seems that the Prancing Horse marque has delivered another. It's similarly based on the F12 Berlinetta, but instead of taking its inspiration from the 250 Testa Rossa with a unique roadster body-style, the F12 SP America pictured here seems to pay stylistic tribute to the 250 GTO - evident in the trio of nostrils in the nose, the unique side vents, the slates behind the windows and the restyled rear haunches that meld into an integrated rear spoiler.
This unique take of the F12 was delivered to its assuredly wealthy commissioner by Wide World Ferrari Maserati in Spring Valley, NY, which tells you as much as the chosen model name that this particular one-off is staying right here in the United States.
