OK, can I take it for a week long test drive ? I promise to not do more than 1 track day during that week. If I like it then we can start negotiating price after that

of course
test drives are granted upon receipt of non refundable deposit equal to sales price. once u decide u like the car pls wire remaining funds which also is equal to the full sales price.

Ah nice ! I did a Pescadero run today. First time on a spirited wet road drive with the GT3T on Cup2. You have to fully respect the car in these conditions !

I guess you can drive now ?

drove my newest antique with what might be Ferrari’s best modern car. Had some lunch. Drove 200 miles around the hills. Hooned in some tunnels. Zero tickets issued.

still can get my head around Ferrari’s Don’t love them. Good cars. But the 458 steering is very direct off center makes my aggressively setup rs feel mild by comparison. It’s too much. Engine good. Trans not that good. Pdk is better. Looks? I like Porsche’s.

I agree. On looks alone, I would pick a Porsche over a Ferrari any day.

You finally found the one application where PDK is superior to manual....

As for wet pavement, it was wet+all the fall leaves on the road. Better not go full throttle if the front wheels are not straight.... The other nightmare was on stage road where they put a fresh new layer of gravel....
