The Ferrari tray is designed to create a low pressure point under the rear of the car, effectively pulling it down, actually quite ingenious. I don't know how much down force this creates relative to a wing, but it also does NOT create drag, so the overall aerodynamics may be actually better.

Scott, I went to Ferrari for few reasons:

(1). Was a teenager dream to own a Ferrari since the 80s after the Magnum PI show.
(2). Porsches now days are just so non-drama, too reliable, too maintenance free. Porsche made too many cars, so there are a lot of them on the road. Sort of lost the mystique feeling.
(3). There is nothing else in the world that sounds like a Ferrari. Except the Carrera GT, but that's too expensive of a car. If the CGT was in a price range of a 360 I would have bought one in a heartbeat instead of a Ferrari.



I read that Ferrari spent crazy amount of hours in the wind tunnel for the 360, and a lot of the design is transfer of technology they learn from Formula 1. The whole idea was not to add any external wing or aerodynamic devices to ruin the lines of the car. In real world application I am finding there is a "soft" spot in the car's handling between 80-90 mph where the car feels very floaty, supposely the aero effect does not function very well below that speed. So.....

Agree completely in regard to the CGT!!! Saw the movie "Fracture" this past weekend that is one fine car.

So are we suppose to feel sorry for you that you are having a harder time wrenching your F-car then the P-car?

Yes, we are all a little jealous! Just be glad it's not a CF undertray, & you cracked it with a jack.

I don't know LAT, maybe we should ask Robin if he still has the RR to get an indication of his pain threshold before we start placing bets. He might actually be good for a couple of years.

JK Robin, I've been through the Italian and English affairs too.

Still have the RR, the British truck has been great. Spent a total of $700 fixing her up, new air spring, new shocks, new ball joints, new tie rods, (used) valve block, computer rest. Air suspension have been working great, until.... Monday this week. Craped out again, I believe one of the ride height sensors are busted, got a new one on order will see what happens....

Ah, Italian engineering at its finest. A great car to drive but I like to get intimate with my car, and not be unpleasantly surprised when I do. But I do hope you enjoy ownership, it's a fantastic car.
