He's actually getting that ?
Its 3300lbs, and with the comparison with the Gallardo, DB9, Carerra, Ford GT and SL500 AMG, it came out on top. -------------------- |

He's getting it this Friday. They're LOADED. He's trading his other Ferrari and has a Porsche Cayenne as his daily driver. The kid himself drives a 2003 Yukon SUV. It must be REALLY nice to have money. I will post pics of the car once he sends me pics.
It's red and its a coupe. Ive never seen a paddle shifter thing on a steering wheel before. I saw the pics for the first time yesterday and asked where the shifter was and he had to explain it to me. Its unbelievable. U can also adjust the suspension...make it looser or stiffer depending on the road conditions by some control on the steering wheel. -------------------- Note to new members.

The suspention modulation isnt too unique- tons oftoyotas from the late 80's to the early 90's could be set up with TEMS (Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspention), from Cynos to Soarer...

with paddle shift you can go faster around corners while shifting with both hands on the steering wheel. im going to go to med school, i want to be an anesthesiologist and that is going to be one of the first cars i get after i get my M.D. its my favorite along with its lil bro the 360
