I purchased this car in May of 2013 after realizing I had sold off all my Italian cars and needed something for last year’s Italian Stampede. After having owned a lower mile CS prior to this one I decided that this was the perfect car for me to actually drive without any concern about eroding its perceived value. So, if you’re looking for a low mile garage queen this ain’t it and if you’re looking for a 100% flawless car, this ain’t it. It is however, a well cared for and mechanically stellar CS that you can drive as much as you like for as long as you choose to.

 

Service:

6/25/14 – Clutch readout shows 26% use (or 74% remaining)

11/26/13 – oil service, header/cat replacement (L side), New 02 sensors (4)

8/7/13 – resolve oil overfill, drive belt idler adjustment, AC recharge, Updated trans mount install, installed 4 new Bridgestone RE11’s (have about 3k on them and are better than 85%)

5/28/13 – PPI done at Cavallo Motorsports*, Ball joints replaced, alignment done to factory spec

4/6/13 – Cam belt and fluid service, filter replacement, brake system flush

Prior service – was performed on annual basis at F&M in L.A., I confirmed that the clutch had been replaced and that the car had been regularly serviced.

 

 *The PPI was conducted at my expense at Cavallo and I elected to have the ball joints replaced with Hill Engineering bits, and asked that everything that look suspect be replaced. The clutch wear was 23% and compression was as follows: Cyl 1 – 235, Cyl 2 – 240, Cyl 3 – 235, Cyl 4 – 240, Cyl 5 – 235, Cyl 6 – 240,    Cyl 7 – 230, Cyl 8 – 235. SD2 readout was clean.

Items to note:

-        The car has an imperfection on the passenger corner of the nose, I’m not 100% certain that it made its way through the clear bra but it may have. It is less than a pinky nail in diameter.

-        The car also has a tiny chip on the fuel door and one along the leading edge of the driver’s door but both are nearly impossible to catch on pictures.

-        The passenger airbag cover is a bit wavy but really not worth replacing at this point.

Pranked angry Ferrari owner says urine trouble now, man!

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

A good rule to live by is that you should never mess with another man's car, but Roman Atwood learned that you probably shouldn't even pretend with another man's ride... especially when it's a Ferrari 360 Modena. The internet prankster was trying to perform a little handicap parking spot justice by acting as if he were urinating on an Italian supercar that he felt was illegally parked.
Needless to say, the owner of the car was not amused by Atwood's antics, proceeding to shove him, shout obscenities and even yell, "I could buy your whole family." Both men seem like real class acts. Check out the prank-gone-wrong below.

Ferrari rated world's most powerful brand ahead of Apple

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Ferrari has nabbed the honor of becoming the world's most powerful brand from Apple. According to Brand Finance, the Italian automaker earned the highest rating among all brands on the Global 500 list despite being worth considerably less than its competition. But the ranking takes into account more than just a company's bottom line. Brand Finance also looks at margins, average revenue per customer and less tangible notions like brand affection and loyalty.
There's no disputing those latter two categories, and this year saw Ferrari enjoy the best financial results in the automaker's history. In 2012, the company's revenue jumped by eight percent to 2.43 billion euro thanks in part to a 4.5 percent increase in deliveries worldwide.
Meanwhile, Apple squeaked out ahead of Samsung to earn the top spot as the most valuable brand at $400 billion. You can check out the Brand Finance press release below for more information.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari pens a provocative F1 car of the future

Sat, Feb 21 2015

Scuderia Ferrari unveiled its vision of the future for Formula One this week, revealing sketches of a sleek, muscular racecar. Called the Concept F1, Ferrari is showcasing the design to start a conversation about the next generation of Formula One cars and spur interest in the sport, which has been maligned for its unattractive racecars in recent years. The Concept F1 was penned by the company's in-house studio, Centro Stile Ferrari, with input from its aerodynamics department. Though the sketches look futuristic, the company says the design could be executed without changing F1 regulations. From its beginning, Ferrari's racecars have had both form and function, winning on the track and turning heads with everything from the 250 Testa Rossa, 330 P3, Michael Schumacher's single-seaters from the early 2000s and many others. That lineage led the Scuderia's leaders to survey the paddock, wring their hands and come up with the Concept F1. As Ferrari said on its website: "Our challenge was to create something that was – to put it short – better looking." It's a philosophy that was implemented for this season's car, the SF15-T. While not groundbreaking in appearance, Ferrari cleaned up the design, particularly up front, and the racecar now has a more attractive nose that delivers better aerodynamics. It's more of the same in back, where a tighter design creates more downforce. "This year's car is certainly an awful lot better looking than last year's car," Ferrari technical director James Allison said in a video on the Scuderia's website. The updates come as Ferrari, and all F1 teams, get a better handle on the extensive 2014 rule changes that brought back turbocharged engines and altered the aerodynamic regulations for the series. Less dramatic changes also are going into effect this year. Ferrari, which is coming off a disappointing fourth-place finish in the World Championship, is obviously looking to the future. Appearances have always mattered for the red cars. We'll see if they bring the Scuderia success this season and beyond. Other News and Notes Next-generation Chrysler Town & Country spied Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hard at work on the next-gen Town & Country minivan, and our spy shooters have captured heavily covered prototypes during testing on the road. We can't tell anything about the exterior design, though we see glimpses of an instrument panel (which looks vaguely Dodge Charger-esque) and infotainment screen inside.
