Why Buy My Ferrari? Buying a used car can be a risky thing, you don't want to get ripped off and you don't want to end up with a car that's got issues that the buyer hid. I'm a regular guy who's bought used cars too and I understand the concerns. So in my listing I'm trying to provide all the information and detailed photos that I as a car buyer would want to see to be able to make a confident purchase decision. I'm a big-time Ferrari/Sportscar enthusiast and the 360 Modena was my dream car when I was younger. I'm not a millionaire with a bunch of expensive cars. I make a good living but I had to save a long time to be able to finally afford this car. So it's not just one of a bunch of "toys" to me, it's a dream come true that I treasured and I treated it that way. Please read the extensive information and detailed photos of the car (taken on 02/23/14) below and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. Vehicle Condition I bought this car used in November of 2004 from Ferrari of Orange County with around 6K miles on it. I'm the second owner and it now has 20,328 miles on it. This car has never been smoked in, no food was ever eaten in it and has never spent a night outside the garage. It's also been immaculately maintained inside and out by my professional detailer at Lucci Elite Detail. I drive it just about every weekend to keep the fluids and everything else heat cycled. It's never been tracked and 90% of the miles have either been highway or scenic local roads. I've kept on top of all service and maintenance and it has had the cam variator recall performed. Since this car was driven less than 3K miles a year, an oil change / fluid service was performed every year rather than waiting for enough mileage. Belts were replaced every 3-5 years depending on my mechanic's inspection and recommendation. The vehicle just received a major service last year which included replacement of all fuids, spark plugs, belts and belt tensioners and pulleys. Because of the low miles the brakes and pads still have plenty of life left on them. I don't drive the car extremely hard and I've always shifted into neutral when idling at a light to prolong the life of the clutch. I had the clutch life checked a few years ago and it was at 72%. I just got new wheels and tires last year and they have less than 1,000 miles on them. I have kept all the maintenance paperwork as well as the spare set of keys and alarm fob (never used) together in a tupperware container. This car is ready for another 4-5 years of what should only be oil and fluid changes each year. Exterior The first thing everyone notices about this car is the wrap job. It's a full wrap including door jambs using 3M Dark Metallic Grey film, done by the experts at Protective Film Solutions. It turned out beautifully and I'm really happy with it, I get compliments on it all the time. I got my car wrapped less than 2 years ago because I wanted to try something new. There's nothing at all wrong with the factory paint. The original paint color was Argento Nurburgring (silver) and it was kept in pristine condition and the wrap actually helps to keep it that way by protecting it. If for some reason you wanted to remove the wrap, you'd have a sparkling silver Ferrari that looked brand new. To compliment the matte/stealth look I custom painted the 2 rear emblems a satin shadow chrome color. I also had a light tint film applied to the headlights and a medium tint applied to the sidemarkers and reflectors. But rest assured, the HID and signal lights still shine through absolutely fine and there is no visibility hazard whatsoever. Interior Details The interior is almost completely stock. The previous owner had a power line wired in just above the rear view mirror for a radar detector which I've never used, but it's there. The one change I made was a mild upgrade to the stock audio system. I replaced the stock speakers with Focal speakers and the headunit with a Pioneer unit that supported bluetooth audio. Sounds much better than stock and the convenience of bluetooth audio and phone calls is a nice one. I do still have the stock Becker headunit if you want it. This car does also come with the very sought after factory carbon fiber racing seats that save about 25lbs if I recall correctly. Be aware that these seats don't have any power adjusments, but if you were to swap back to the basic stock seats the wiring for it is already there, you just plug it in. There is one area that is less than perfect in the interior and that's the "sticky" buttons and door pulls. Early year examples of this car used a less durable rubberized coating on the interior window, radio and door switches. Over time they would get kind of soft and sticky and also peel. On this car it's pretty minor on the window switches and not an issue on the radio switches because I replaced the headunit. But the inside door handles are pretty scarred up (see detailed photos below). It's not something that bothered me enough to fix, but there are several places that offer refinishing services that can get it all looking better than new. Performance/Handling I find the performance of this car really good already and the feedback from the pedals, steering wheel and chassis are razor sharp. I've driven many sports cars and when you drive a Ferrari there's a sense of passion and connectedness to the car that I haven't felt anywhere else. So I didn't feel that there was much tinkering necessary but I did do a few tweaks. My favorite is the Tubi "sport" exhaust. The person I bought the exhaust from said it was a sport version that was slightly louder than the normal Tubi but I never bothered to verify. That's because I was absolutely blown away by the new sound of the car, it sounds incredible! I think the sound of this car is at least 50% of the enjoyment. I coupled the Tubi exhaust to Larini high flow catalytic converters, (which pass smog better than even the stock cats did so no worries there) and B&M drop-in air filters. The sound of the car now is hard to describe with words. At low RPMs between 2-3K there is an extremely deep and menacing growl. This changes to a sporty roar through the middle RPMs and when you hit 7-8K RPM it's the holy grail, it screams that signature Ferrari/F1 racing sound that just rips through the air. Handling wise the car has been lowered on H&R springs and the front fenders have been rolled for safe clearance. I was very impressed with the springs, the ride barely got any harsher than stock, it's perfectly fine for long drives (depending on the quality of road you're on of course). The wheels are custom made 19", staggered and concave Forgestar CF5Vs in textured gunmetal. The tires are Bridgestone Potenza S0-4 Pole Positions in 235/35/19 up front and 305/30/19 in the rear. The diameters have only a 1~2% deviation from stock so there's no issues with the speedometer reading or traction control kicking in when it shouldn't. The car was custom aligned right after it was lowered by West End Alignment the preeminent alignment house in Southern California. The car handled very well stock, but understeer was definitely noticeable. With the new tires/alignment the grip is on a different level, I haven't even gotten the tires to chirp once. The balance is much closer to neutral now and the front end bite into corners is probably the most improved aspect. Turn-in is super sharp and it just tracks through the corners so flat and stable, it's very confidence inspiring. Payment $2,000 deposit through PayPal is required within 48 hours of winning the auction or the vehicle will be relisted. Remaining payment must be made within 7 days of auction close. I will not release the vehicle until your payment clears my bank. If the vehicle needs to be transported, it is the buyer's responsibility to arrange and pay for it. Serious bidders only please. If you have any other questions about my car or want to see photos of some other areas, please feel free to "ask seller a question".

Living up to its name | 2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast First Drive
Fri, Jun 23 2017What's in a name? In the case of the Ferrari 812 Superfast, a numerical reference to its 800-(metric) horsepower, 12-cylinder engine and a not-so-subtle hint at its capability for extreme rates of travel. Only Ferrari, notorious for joyously naming its flagship "LaFerrari," could get away with the moniker. But once you get past the super-obvious nomenclature, it becomes hard to argue with this on-the-nose model name. If you're lucky enough to have sampled the standard F12 and one of the 799 F12 TDFs offered to Ferrari's most loyal clients, you've got a pretty good idea of the 812 Superfast's personality, which involves a blend of the TDF's edginess and the F12's comfort and usability. Even within the rarified world of supercars, the 812's athleticism is impressive despite its veil of approachability. More power, to the tune of 789 horsepower (versus the TDF's 769) combined with weight loss of 132 pounds make it the highest-performance standard production model Ferrari in history. (For reference, the TDF trims an even more impressive 242 pounds, ditching niceties like sound insulation.) Along with mechanical and aerodynamic improvements, the elevated power-to-weight ratio enables it to hit 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph. The main attraction is, of course, the 6.5-liter V12, which boasts 75 percent new parts and undergoes a series of mods to raise its output while (thankfully) retaining its naturally aspirated soul. A stroked version of the F12's 6.3-liter mill, the V12 features new pistons, new con-rods, a reinforced crankcase, and a trick new direct-fuel-injection system that runs at a staggering 5,076 psi. The system is capable of changing the shape of fuel droplets as they're injected into the combustion chamber, adjusting for around-town drivability or balls-to-the-wall performance. A revised air intake system incorporates a new plenum and bigger air inlet with wider throttle valves for better breathing. Silver lining: CO2 emissions have been reduced thanks to the new injection system and reduced friction from new 5W50 engine oil. Each of the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission's gears has been shortened, which has the virtual effect of producing an extra 50 horsepower – as if the mighty V12 was wanting for oomph. Upshifts can now happen 30 percent quicker, and the engine's ability to rev-match for downshifts occurs 40 percent faster.
Ferrari vs. Ferrari: Cut convertibles unloved by collectors?
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The New York Times' Wheels blog has a really interesting story on a pair of Ferraris that are set to be auctioned off in Monterey during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. While the two cars are similar on the surface, their differing histories and Ferrari's attitude towards one of them has led to a sort of experimental auction process.
On the one hand, we have one of ten 1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spiders, in the classic Rosso Corsa and appearing at RM Auctions and seen above. On the other, we have a Fly Yellow version that started life as a 1965 275 GTB Coupe, and was converted into a NART Spider. Called a "cut" car, this particular replica is one of about 100 GTB Coupes that were converted into convertibles to satiate the climbing demand for ultra-rare Spiders.
This will mark one of the first times that an original NART Spider will go toe to toe with a replica of itself at auction, and will answer a number of questions about just how important provenance is in the collector car world. Head on over to The Times blog for the full story.
2015 Ferrari 458 Italia to go turbo?
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Forced induction has definitely hit trend status when it comes to performance cars. Whether it's the supercharged Hellcat V8 in the Dodge Challenger SRT, the latest twin-turbocharged M3/M4 or even the entry-level speed of the Ford Fiesta ST, if you want the fastest car in any given segment, in all likelihood it has a turbo or supercharger. Even Ferrari hasn't avoided the bandwagon with the latest iteration of the California that replaces the original 4.3-liter V8 with a 3.9-liter turbo V8 offering 552 horsepower for more power and better fuel economy. If recent rumors prove true, it might not be the only Prancing Horse to use this engine for long.
According to Car in the UK, Ferrari is planning to boost the 3.9-liter V8 up to around 670 hp and place it in a refreshed 458 Italia in 2015. If true, that is an astounding increase over the version from the latest California and a roughly 70-hp improvement over the current 458 Speciale.
The extra power would come with a serious challenge of how to maintain the 458's delicious exhaust note. Turbocharged engines are often quieter than their naturally aspirated counterparts, modern Formula One cars serving as a prime example. The California may get a pass because it's more of a GT, but the 458 is the brand's bread-and-butter sports car. It needs to sound like a proper Ferrari V8. However, Car claims Maranello is a step ahead and has a complicated exhaust layout - as is the case with the California T, we might add - ready to keep much of the characteristic yelp in tact.
